Almería holds the wildest diving on Spain's Mediterranean coast.
Almería holds the wildest diving on Spain's Mediterranean coast. Its jewel is the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, Andalusia's first marine reserve, with volcanic seabeds, posidonia meadows and visibility that rarely drops below 10 metres. From San José to Carboneras and from the Roquetas de Mar shoreline to the wrecks off Aguadulce, the province offers dives for every level almost year-round thanks to its dry microclimate and mild waters.
Diving in Almería means exploring the best-preserved coastline in south-east Spain. The Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and marine reserve, protects a unique volcanic ecosystem where groupers, moray eels, octopus and vast posidonia oceanica meadows thrive. The province combines wall dives, caves, arches and wrecks with a climate that allows diving over 300 days a year. From the fishing village of San José to San Andrés Island in Carboneras or the wrecks sunk off Aguadulce and Roquetas de Mar, Almería is one of Spain's most complete dive destinations, with certified centres that handle the permits required inside the protected zones.
