With the Atlantic to the north and the Mediterranean to the south, Spain boasts a broad array of dive options. From big blue sharks prowling off the rugged northern coast to colorful gorgonians waving gently in the warm clear waters of the much milder Mediterranean, there is something here to tempt divers of all persuasions. Spain is renowned for its marine reserves. Each area has its own unique attraction and there’s enough here to keep divers fascinated for a lifetime. Near the straits of Gibraltar, at the mouth of the Mediterranean, areas such as Granada, Málaga and Cádiz, offer diving nearly all year round. In the north, Cantabria, Galicia, Asturias and the Basque Country have colder waters, more significant tides and a bit less visibility, but they teem with marine life.

Diving in Spain is one of the best in Europe with famous diving spots such as the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Costa Brava from Barcelona to Cadaquès and famous dives such as Medes Islands marine reserve.
Spain is a great destination for scuba divers who love cavern diving and groupers.
A little less known, you can also give a try at diving in Costa Calida.
The marine life in Spain is mostly about groupers, octopus, barracudas, moray eels and nudibranchs.
It’s the right place to go for both beginners and experienced divers.
Due to the water temperatures, regarding scuba gear, it is most common to scuba dive there in a 7 mm wetsuit.
The best time of the year is often from July to September, but the Canary Islands can be dived year-round.
The best dive sites can be reached by boat.
