You can visit if you are in Cartagena , on Sundays is FREE, it won’t take you more than 30’ to see it . There is no wait, you enter directly and is in the port area

Nice museum of underwater findings and history. Well laid out with plenty of space and just €3 to enter its definitely worth a visit. The boards and displays are in Spanish and English until you get to the video projection telling the story of a English Vs Spanish naval altercation where the English won, after that the boards are in Spanish only!! It's near the end of the tour so I don't think you miss much if you can't read Spanish and it did make us laugh! When we visited (Oct 22) there was also a temporary exhibition in the separate building, these displays were all in Spanish only which was a little disappointing given its a tourist attraction but on the whole its definitely worthwhile visiting and there is a cafe for a drink afterwards.

This is a large museum, on the port next to the marina aptly enough. We parked in the underground car park on the same street and it was a few minutes walk to the museum. Entrance was possibly €6 each but I can't quite remember. The museum is modern and well laid out, starting with an explanation of what marine archeology actually is, what it covers and what it tries to achieve. It also showed how the tools and resources have changed as technology moves on but also the dangers as the treasure hunters become equally sophisticated. The later section is a chronological display of items recovered and an explanation of how maritime trade worked and what the trade routes were. This started with a Phonecian vessel and continued to the nineteenth century. There is also a good little shop and I think there's a cafe on the upper floor but we didn't go there. We spent over an hour inside and it was a fascinating visit.
