About this dive site

This dive site, located just on the other side of Malaga, is a truly special destination. It’s home to Europe's first ever National Marine Park and is widely regarded as one of Spain’s finest diving locations. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of fish along with magnificent Mola Mola – also known as lionfish – and an abundance of vibrant Nudibranchs, particularly on the wall dives. There are two distinct dive areas available; one on the left and another on the right hand side.
