About this site
This dive spot off La Palma features dramatic volcanic rock formations and caves teeming with colorful marine life. The clear Atlantic waters offer excellent visibility, often exceeding 30 meters. Schools of barracuda and angel sharks are common sightings. The underwater lava tubes create unique swim-throughs, while the steep drop-offs attract larger pelagic species. Ideal for intermediate divers, with mild currents and water temperatures ranging 18-24°C. The black sand bottom contrasts beautifully with vibrant sponges and corals.
