The Diving ?

This part of the Costa Calida has an abundance of safe, clear and warm waters. The proximity of the Atlantic ocean results in a rich and unique blend of Atlantic and Mediterranean sea life where you can encounter moray eels, large groupers, barracuda, rays, octopus, occasionally turtles and sunfish along with numerous types of colourful smaller fish. You will also find some of the prettiest types of both hard and soft corals together with nudibranches and sea slugs common to this area.

These waters provide an ideal environment to learn how to scuba dive and to advance on skills and qualifications already acquired. Because of the sheltered waters and non-tidal sea making diving easier and more comfortable to enjoy.

Our dive sites stretch from the north east of the mar menor, down to the Islas Hormigas marine reserve at Cabo de palos and westwards past the ancient town of Cartagena and across to the town of Mazarron. This wide area can provide any diver with a selection of shore, boat, marine dives, night dives, wreck and deep dives!

The Islas Hormigas marine reserve, which is a protected area, boasts some of Spain’s best diving, where visibility is on average 12-15 metres with water temperatures from 16c in winter to a pleasant 30c in the height of summer. Some of the sites can be reached within 10 minutes from La Manga Club.
