El Tunel Naranja
Protected Area
Reserva Marina de Cabo de Gata-Níjar
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 - El Tunel Naranja offers some of Cabo de Palos's richest cave diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
El Tunel Naranja delivers exactly what the name implies: a swim-through tunnel with an orange hue. It's a straightforward cave dive, usually calm inside, which makes it a good spot for divers looking to try overhead environments without deep penetration or complex navigation. We've often seen lobsters tucked into crevices as we pass through. It’s not a lengthy dive, but it's a solid choice for a second dive or for divers keen on getting some cave experience.
