Introductory dives, technical diving and snorkelling at Cabo de Palos harbour

Planeta Azul Buceo y Naturaleza is a dive centre at Paseo Dimas Ortega, 24, in Cabo de Palos harbour. It organises boat trips to the Cabo de Palos and Islas Hormigas marine reserve, and its best-known activity, judging by reviews, is an introductory dive for people who have never used scuba equipment.

From your first dive to technical diving

The centre caters for very different levels. It offers beginner courses, technical diving training and guided dives in the reserve, as well as snorkelling for those who prefer to stay at the surface. It hires and sells equipment and complements diving with environmental education activities.

What people who have dived with them say

Three themes recur in reviews. First, instructors described as patient with nervous newcomers. Second, organisation on land: reception assigns groups and dive sites efficiently, even on busy days. Third, the boat skippers. Several customers say they completed Open Water over a weekend, and some mention currents on certain dives.

When to visit

Open every day from morning until mid-afternoon, when the boats go out. It has an adapted entrance, parking and toilets, and accepts cards.
