Spanish and scuba-diving in Cabo de Gata

We offer scuba diving weekends in the natural park of Cabo de Gata near Almeria as a part of our weekly cultural programme. Participants can enrol for this activity during the first course day!

You will discover a unique flora and fauna on land and underwater in the beautiful natural park of Cabo de Gata with dives in the clear Mediterranean Sea. The natural park of Cabo de Gata is one of the few sub-desertic areas in Europe and was the first natural coastal zone to be classified as a protected area in Andalusia. It belongs to one of the cleanest and most transparent areas in the Mediterranean sea, which makes scuba-diving in the natural park an unforgettable experience. The area offers dives for all levels of experience - from shallow dives along the coast, to deeper dives or even caves. For novices the natural park with its clear water offers ideal conditions for a first dive.
