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 - Isla de Escombreras offers some of Cabo de Palos's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Isla de Escombreras, off Cabo de Palos, offers a relaxed Mediterranean dive. You'll find rocky slopes with good visibility on most days, home to moray eels and octopuses tucked into the crevices. It's a straightforward dive, making it a good choice for those looking for an easy morning out or a refresher dive. We think it's particularly pleasant on calm days when the light really plays across the rocks.
