Advice for diving Cabo de Palos in Spain
The Islas Hormigas marine reserve just off the coast of cabo de palos,in la Manga, Murcia offers the BEST scuba diving in Spain and recently got the title for best diving in Europe!
The Reserve is a well established breeding ground for mediteranian fish and wildlife , it is highly protected by the Marine authorities since 1995 and is home to an abundance of marine life such as huge Groupers, shoals of Barracuda, Octopus, Moray eels, Eagle rays as well as Nudibranch and the occasional Sunfish. During the months of August to October, in the reserve, you can see huge bait balls which attract Palagic fish, such as Tuna, Comon dentex and Jacks as well as other preditory fish, all of whom feed on them offering a spectacular show!
We and many other divers who regularly dive in the Mediterranean believe this to be the best place to dive in Spain for the abundance and variation of marine life.
You will not be dissapointed!!
