Cala Cortina - Cabo de Palos

Cala Cortina offers a straightforward shore dive near Cartagena, making it a good spot for a relaxed afternoon. You'll find a series of rocky outcrops and small sandy patches, home to typical Mediterranean reef fish like damselfish, wrasse, and small octopus if you look closely. It's a reliable option for knocking out a quick dive or for newer divers getting comfortable with entries and exits. We often use it when we’re in the area and just want to get wet without much fuss.
