    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    La Punta, off Cabo de Palos, offers a relaxed Mediterranean dive. You'll find a rocky reef environment, home to plenty of wrasse and damselfish darting between the crevices. It’s a good spot for a straightforward dive, particularly if you’re looking to get wet without challenging conditions. We think it’s best suited for those happy with a pleasant, unassuming dive.
