About this site

Palm Mar Wall is a dive site at Palm Mar in the south of Tenerife, easily reached by boat, with depths running from 12 to 32 metres.

The site is known for its variety of rays, with eagle rays, devil rays, bull rays and stingrays all seen here. The mild climate throughout the year on Tenerife is credited with letting them grow to enormous sizes. Photographs taken at the site also show a bull ray, an eel and a turtle.
