El Tajo
Located to the west of the closed cove, Cape Tiñoso offers an incredible dive site known as "Tajo Colorao". The name derives from the stunning reddish tones of the rock formations found along its walls. This area boasts sunlight-filled waters that provide excellent visibility, making it a diver's paradise.
Like many other dive sites in the region, Cape Tiñoso's clear waters allow divers to encounter a diverse range of Mediterranean marine life. Common sightings include bream, corvina, and barracudas. Exploring the wall, which reaches depths of up to 30 meters, divers will encounter a variety of captivating creatures such as flatworms, annelids, nudibranchs, forkbeards, octopus, moray eels, and conger eels. The rock formations, a result of cliff landslides, create an immersive underwater landscape full of shadows, backlighting, and captivating hues.
After exploring the vibrant underwater world, divers will return to the anchorage and ascend to the surface. Another popular diving option is to embark on a "caribbean" dive to Cala Cerrada, where the boat will be waiting to pick up divers. This nearby location also features oceanic posidonia meadows, a positive indicator of the water's exceptional quality.
Cape Tiñoso is an ideal diving destination for both beginner and advanced divers, with a maximum depth of 22 meters and a visibility of approximately 15 meters. This stunning dive site is situated in La Azohía, Diputación de Perín, Cartagena, Campo de Cartagena y Mar Menor, Region of Murcia, Spain.
