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 - Islote de la Nao offers some of Cabo de Palos's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Islote de la Nao is a shallow, easy dive in Cabo de Palos, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed time in the water. We found plenty of small stuff tucked into the rocks: blennies, gobies, and nudibranchs if you look closely. It’s a gentle introduction to the area, rarely affected by strong currents, making it a good choice for refresher dives or macro photography practice.
