    Bajo las Palomas is a solid choice when you’re looking for a relaxed dive in Cabo de Palos. At a gentle 19 metres, it’s a perfect spot for newer divers or for getting back in the water after a break. You’ll weave through small canyons and rock formations, often spotting barracuda cruising by and plenty of smaller reef fish darting between the rocks. It’s a comfortable, easy dive, usually with good visibility, making it one of our regular picks when we just want to enjoy being underwater without any fuss.
