The influence of the Atlantic currents, combined with the warm Mediterranean waters, creates in this region an area of great richness and biodiversity.

If you are also a technical diver, you can enjoy exploring ships sunk during the First and Second World War, or the transatlantic Sirio, the largest accident that occurred in Spanish waters

An oasis of life in the Mediterranean

The waters of Cabo de Palos were declared a Marine Reserve in 1995 due to the exceptional beauty and conservation of its seabeds. Its excellent state of conservation has fostered a very broad biological diversity, formed by extensive Posidonia oceanica meadows and coralligenous formations of rocky nature with walls that descend to more than 40 meters deep.

The Hormigas Islands area constitutes, in addition to an area of undoubted ecological and cultural value, a destination recognized by the Cousteau Foundation, as the best place in the Mediterranean for diving. Included by National Geographic in the Top 20 best dive sites in the world due to its extraordinary submerged heritage.
