Why dive here
With 189+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, mobula rays (devil rays), ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses and sea turtles - Cabo San Martin offers some of Cabo de Palos's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cabo San Martin sits just off the lighthouse at Cabo de Palos. It's a straightforward dive, generally calm, with decent visibility on most days. The rock formations provide plenty of nooks for moray eels and octopus, and we often spot good-sized groupers here. It’s a solid pick for less experienced divers looking for an easy entry into the local scene.
