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 - Cueva de la Virgen Neptuno offers some of Cabo de Palos's richest cave diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cueva de la Virgen Neptuno offers a straightforward cave dive near Cabo de Palos. Expect to find a series of open caverns, good for divers comfortable with overhead environments but without needing extensive cave training. It's a decent option for getting a taste of Mediterranean cave diving, with typical reef fish often visible near the entrances. We find it’s best suited for those looking for a relatively easy penetration dive.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
