Scuba Diving Holiday in La Azohia

La Azohia
There are three diving clubs in the village of La Azohia, which is a fair indication that there are things to be seen below the surface of the water! As the sea temperature remains above 17C all year round, diving here is also all year round, although the best time for scuba is May - September. There are very few currents in the area which makes for safer diving.

Rivemar have an excellent site in Spanish with details of the various diving locations (immersiones) available. They also have some great aerial photos of the village.
Antipodas Buceo is another scuba diving club based in the village. They also run the bar at the far end of the bay near the tower of St Elena, which is a great place to relax and soak up the last of the sun's rays as you watch it set across the water towards Mazarron. No visit to La Azohia is complete without enjoying some of their tapas and a cold beer.
Urban scuba is a company based in England which organises scuba diving holidays to La Azohia in partnership with Rivemar. Their website provides information about many of the diving locations around the area.

Puerto de Mazarrón
There are more diving clubs here.

Cabo de Palos
There is great diving here, about 35 minutes’ drive from La Azohia, as there are some islands that have caused many ships to be shipwrecked and these can be seen in the water. This is for advanced divers only as there are strong currents. The area has been covered in the April 2003 edition of Divernet.

Planeta Azul have a great website, and also arrange other sporting activities, also for children and families.
