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 - La Laja offers some of Cabo de Palos's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
La Laja in Cabo de Palos gives you a solid Mediterranean dive. It's a rocky reef, shallower than some of the area's deeper wrecks, which means longer bottom times and more light. You’ll typically spot octopuses tucked into crevices, moray eels peering out, and schools of damselfish flitting about. It's a good pick for those who enjoy a relaxed dive with plenty of macro life to find.
