Costa Calida: The tourist diver's dream

Costa Calida refers to the 250 kilometres of coastline in Murcia, which comprise the largest number of protected areas for diving in all of Spain.

The government of the region of Murcia has proposed promoting the culture of diving, so you will find great schools to learn this sport. Thanks to the events and talks held annually, people have been attracted and encouraged to practice diving on the coasts of the region.
  Some of the most attractive places on Costa Calida for diving are:

The coasts of Aguilas and their magic

The underwater world offers a great variety of colour. The sensation of fish swimming close to you, or being able to interact with the shape of an octopus when swimming, are experiences that cannot be forgotten.

Not knowing how to dive is not an excuse, as in Aguilas you will find diving schools where you will learn the correct theory and techniques to explore the marine world. You can greet incredible specimens of marine moray eels, photograph starfish, swim among impressive corals ... and even see dolphins! Believe it or not, if you're lucky, you can swim with dolphins in their natural habitat.

Cabo de Palos - Hormigas Islands

The protected area of the Hormigas Islands allows the immersion of divers throughout the year, for both recreational diving and professional or sport diving.

It has been declared the best European diving destination and a place of European Community Interest, for its rich fauna and flora.
