We did a dive packages with a dive shop based in the 5 star resort of LA manga club, murcia.
We were so surprised to see such marine life abundance! huge groupers in their dozens, big shoals of barracuda, moral eels, dentex, tuna, jacks, we even saw sunfish and eagle rays on some dives!

Well worth diving here! you will be pleasantly surprised for sure!! The Dive shop was great, they knew so much about the area and knew the dive sites very well as they have been operating here over ten years.
