Centro de Buceo Mojacar - Cabo de Palos
The team at Centro de Buceo Mojacar, based in Cabo de Palos, really know their stuff. These guys are a PADI 5 Star IDC centre, which tells you straight away that their training is top-notch. If you’re thinking about taking your diving further, or even making a career out of it, this is where we’d send you. We love their focus on solid instruction, making them a great choice for new divers who want a thorough grounding, or experienced divers looking to refine their skills. What makes Mojacar stand out? Their location, for one. Cabo de Palos offers up some of Spain’s best diving, especially around the Islas Hormigas Marine Reserve. Think historic wrecks like the *SS Stanfield* or the *Naranjito*, covered in gorgonians and patrolled by barracuda. We’ve had dives there where the schools of snapper are so dense you can barely see your buddy, a shimmering wall of fish. Conditions are generally calm in summer, with visibility often pushing 20 metres. If you’re visiting in shoulder season, say May or October, you might even get the wrecks almost to yourselves, though the water will be a bit cooler. They’re professional, friendly, and they’ll get you diving safely and competently, whether you’re just starting out or working towards instructor.
