About this spot

CB Almasub is a dive site located near Las Martinicas beach in Spain, accessible year-round for divers seeking Mediterranean exploration. The site has attracted observer interest with 12 recorded species observations, giving divers a baseline for what marine life to expect in the water. While specific depth, visibility, and temperature data aren't extensively documented, the year-round access makes it a reliable option for Spanish divers planning trips in any season. The site sits outside a marine protected area, meaning fewer regulatory restrictions on dive operations and entry. This can make logistics simpler for independent divers and smaller operators. The lack of MPA status also means the site isn't subject to the same conservation protocols that govern some Mediterranean destinations. Divers interested in CB Almasub should connect with local Spanish dive operators familiar with the Las Martinicas area for current conditions, best entry points, and seasonal recommendations. Community video documentation hasn't yet been developed for this spot, so firsthand local knowledge becomes especially valuable. Check in with regional dive shops before your trip to confirm accessibility and sea conditions on your intended dive dates.
