Dive-site story
Located along the eastern coastline of La Palma near the airport, this site centers on underwater volcanic tongues and basalt formations that run into a light sand seabed. Divers enter through a sheltered bay and navigate basalt arches, narrow swim-throughs, and rocky shelves that drop gradually into the blue. The mix of volcanic structure and open sand creates distinct zones where both reef-dwelling fish and bottom-dwelling elasmobranchs shelter.
Volcanic lava tunnels and arches covered in sponges and algae
Expansive sand banks inhabited by colonies of Canarian garden eels
Sheltered entry area that allows easy access in calm sea conditions
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Autumn offers the warmest sea temperatures and highest visibility, while winter and spring bring better odds of spotting angelsharks.
