With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses, sea turtles and sperm whales - El Cabezo offers some of Al Hoceima's richest reef diving. Water ranges 16-23°C, warmest July, August, September.
El Cabezo, off Al Hoceima, offers a solid Mediterranean reef dive. We’ve found a healthy coral structure here, home to a scattering of typical species you’d expect in the region – a few moray eels tucked into crevices, some schooling damselfish. It’s a good, straightforward dive for those looking to explore the local underwater landscape. Visibility can be hit or miss, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant experience for intermediate divers.
