    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cabo Tinoso offers a straightforward Mediterranean dive, often used by local centres for training or check dives. You'll find a rocky reef sloping down, usually with plenty of scorpionfish tucked into crevices and small schools of damselfish flitting about. Visibility is typically decent, making it a good spot for newer divers to practice buoyancy and navigation without strong currents to worry about. It's a solid choice for an easy dive when you just want to get wet.
