Mazarrón – Phoenician Wrecks – Murcia – Cabo de Palos & Águilas

Site Overview

The Mazarrón Phoenician wrecks are strictly protected submerged cultural heritage, 2,700-year-old boats resting in shallow, sheltered water and visited only with authorised archaeological guides. Snorkellers and divers can glimpse the ancient timber frames and the surrounding seagrass with seabream and wrasse, a remarkable window into Phoenician maritime history. The very shallow depth and guided access make it a unique, educational dive, and the protection ensures the site endures. Mazarrón is a world-class underwater museum. The site rewards careful planning, good buoyancy and respect for Spain’s marine-protection rules, and remains a favourite among divers who value dramatic volcanic or Mediterranean scenery, historic wrecks and rich marine life across a long, varied season.
