    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    El Jardin sits just off the coast of Cabo de Palos, offering a straightforward dive. The site is a mix of rocky outcrops and sand patches, with small groups of Mediterranean wrasse and bream usually milling about. It's a decent spot for a relaxed second dive or for divers getting reacquainted with their buoyancy, as conditions are typically calm.
