Dive-site story
Situated along the dramatic volcanic coastline of southern La Palma, Las Cabras features sharp basalt formations that tumble into deep Atlantic waters. Divers follow solidified lava fingers flanked by patches of dark volcanic sand, eventually reaching plunging step-offs where pelagic visitors often sweep past.
Steep volcanic basalt drop-offs and jagged lava channels
Expansive colonies of Atlantic garden eels across the dark sand flats
Deep-water branches of black coral clinging to vertical rock faces
