The perfect place for snorkeling is Cabo de Palos, where you can get to know the varying underwater world of the Mediterranean sea! Snorkel at Mar Menor with an experienced dive guide in the calm waters of a sheltered bay. This is why the snorkeling tours at La Manga are suitable for all age groups - children from 6 years on can participate, since a professional PADI dive instructor will always be at their side. Directly below the water surface, countless species of colourful fish, beautiful corals and octopi can be discovered. Just below the water's surface, there are countless species of colourful fish, beautiful corals and octopuses to discover. You can also find the pretty red starfish while snorkelling at Cabo de Palos. The water is crystal clear and offers amazing visibility for snorkelling. If you want to improve your snorkelling technique under the guidance of qualified dive guides, this is the perfect opportunity.

The group (max 8 people) will be divided and we will begin exploring a shallow water area in search of the nearest and most curious fauna and flora of the Mediterranean, including octopus, squid, schools of sarpas, tooth bream, barracuda, sea bass, rays, guitar sharks and much more (depending on the time of year we are in). We will be in the water for about 50-60 minutes and during the activity the guide will show and explain everything we observe and will also take your best photos so you have an exceptional souvenir of the activity.

Beautiful diving area

I´ve been to the Mediterranean more often, but the diving area of ​​Mar Menor is simply incomparable! It is one of the most beautiful and spectacular dive sites of all Europe. Definitely recommendable.

Wunderschönes Tauchgebiet

Ich war schon öfter am Mittelmeer tauchen, aber das Tauchgebiet von Mar Menor ist einfach unvergleichlich! Es ist eines der schönsten und spektakulärsten Tauchgebiete von ganz Europa. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.
