Marbella's dive sites.
Wrecks, walls and reefs within a short ride of Marbella Port — from gentle first dives to demanding offshore drifts.
For over 260 years, nobody knew this ship's name. In July 2026, archaeologists finally identified her: the Fernando, a Spanish Navy ship of the line built in Ferrol in 1750 and lost in a storm off Las Bóvedas ten years later. Her cannons and timbers rest at just 6 metres — one of the few places in Spain where a first-time diver can visit a genuine 18th-century warship.

A five-minute hop from Marbella Port: an artificial reef built from old crane-tower wrecks, with octopus, cuttlefish, moray and a submerged statue of the Virgen del Carmen. Easy access and good visibility make it ideal for newer divers.
A horseshoe-shaped reef close in off the Golden Mile beaches — not far from shore at all. Its northern caves and overhangs shelter octopus, conger eels and small marine life, and the gentle current makes it an easy, rewarding drift: a natural step up from the shallow wrecks for newer certified divers.
Rated one of Spain's top ten dives — a 2 km² reef of walls, canyons and pinnacles three miles offshore. Groupers, morays, congers and octopus, plus Atlantic species pushed in past Gibraltar. Drift and deep diving for experienced divers.
A 2 km rocky reef wrapped in soft coral with shoals of pink anthias so dense it feels like swimming through fish soup. Congers, spider crabs and spiny lobster shelter in a zone protected from fishing. Diveable as a shallower 18 m route or the deeper 27–32 m one — both Advanced, with some drift experience needed.
“An incredible dive at the tower with octopus, cuttlefish and eels, with crazy amounts of fish everywhere.”— Neal S. · Google review
