REUS - Cabo de Palos

The REUS wreck in Cabo de Palos is a real charmer. Sunk in 1970 after a fire, this steamship now rests in just 7m of water, making it a perfect spot for newer divers or those looking for a longer, shallower dive. We love poking around the bow and stern, where much of the hull remains intact. You'll often find schools of damselfish flitting through the old cargo holds, and octopuses can be surprisingly bold here, peering out from crevices in the metalwork. It’s a gentle introduction to wreck diving, with enough structure to explore without feeling overwhelming.
