Club de Buceo Islas Hormigas

Club de Buceo Islas Hormigas is a dive centre at Paseo de la Barra, 15, in Cabo de Palos, named after the marine reserve where it dives. It trains divers through several certification agencies, including SSI, PADI and FEDAS, covering everything from a first introductory dive to technical diving and freediving.

Courses and certifications

Training is organised by level, with these main options:

• introductory dives and snorkelling tours for beginners
• Open Water, Advanced, Rescue Diver and Dive Master
• technical diving with IANTD and GUE
• freediving
• Equipment hire

It also works with FEDAS (CMAS) and ACUC, useful if you already hold a qualification from either.

Dives in the reserve and on wrecks

Guided trips visit the underwater shoals of the Cabo de Palos e Islas Hormigas marine reserve and local wrecks. Reviews most often discuss introductory dives, alongside instructors, club organisation and well-maintained equipment.

Club opening hours

Open Monday to Saturday mornings and afternoons, starting earlier on Saturdays, and Sunday mornings only. It has an accessible entrance, parking and toilets, and accepts card and mobile payments. To compare, browse the local dive centres.
