Parque Natural del Estrecho (La Isla de las Palomas) – Andalusia – Atlantic Coast (Cádiz & Huelva)

Site Overview

The Parque Natural del Estrecho at Tarifa offers some of Europe’s most exciting drift diving, with the Isla de las Palomas walls swept by the strong currents of the Strait of Gibraltar. Tuna, amberjack and eagle rays ride the blue, and the chance of whales and orcas passing offshore adds to the drama. Advanced divers drift along the dramatic walls in nutrient-rich Atlantic water, rewarded by big-fish action few Mediterranean sites can match. The Estrecho is a thrill-seeker’s paradise. 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.
