    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Corralón, just off Cabo de Palos, makes for a straightforward dive, topping out at 17 metres. It’s a good spot for newer divers getting comfortable in the Mediterranean. We typically find schools of damselfish, the occasional moray eel tucked into the rocks, and some octopus trying their best to blend in. It’s not a thrill-seeker's dive, but it’s reliable for a relaxed afternoon in the water.
