About Naranjito
Naranjito is a signature Cabo de Palos wreck lying one mile offshore on sand, with an upright profile and a deep stern that makes it a serious but rewarding boat dive. The bow, holds, and engine room give the wreck plenty of shape, while the deeper sections reward experienced divers who like controlled wreck routes and strong fish life. Plan it as a depth-aware dive that respects current, visibility, and the reserve setting around the wreck.
