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 - REUS offers some of Cabo de Palos's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
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.
