Las Cuatro Uñas is a shallow wall dive in Cabo de Gata-Níjar with beach or boat access, clear water, and an easy profile that feels closer to an aquarium than a deep reef dive. It suits relaxed scuba, snorkel sessions, and photography, with archaeological cannon remains adding character. Late-summer sardine runs and small tuna are the bonus wildlife pattern to watch for.
