Tarifa has no airport. Most divers fly into Malaga-Costa del Sol, Gibraltar, Jerez, or Seville, then continue by rental car, private transfer, or bus via Algeciras. A car is the most flexible choice for dive gear, Bolonia, Los Lances, whale-watch rebooking, and late dinners. Buses connect Tarifa with Algeciras, Cadiz, Seville, and Malaga, but schedules can be slower than the map suggests. Tarifa port also runs fast ferries to Tangier Ville, useful for a non-dive day when sea conditions are good.
A rental car is the easiest option for dive gear, Bolonia, Valdevaqueros, Los Lances, and weather swaps. Tarifa old town, Playa Chica, the port, and many dive shops are walkable once you are based in town.
