- Permit: Cabo de Gata-Níjar is a Natural Park with a marine reserve. According to the Spanish fisheries ministry (MAPA), scuba diving in the reserve's outer waters needs prior authorisation from the Agriculture and Fisheries Functional Area of the Government Subdelegation in Almería; inside the waters of the Natural Park the authorisation depends on the Andalusian regional environment authority (Junta de Andalucía). Local dive centres registered for active tourism in the park arrange this for guided dives - go with one and confirm the current rules. (Source: MAPA marine reserve page)
