    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Pantalanes, right off Cabo de Palos, offers a straightforward dive to 16m. It's a good choice for newer divers or for checking gear after a break. You'll find a mix of rocky and sandy bottom, with some small patches of Posidonia seagrass. Look for octopuses in the crevices and schools of small bream darting around the rocks.
