Dive-site story
Situated on the eastern coast of La Palma, this sheltered coastal site features dramatic volcanic geography formed by ancient basalt flows. Divers enter through a protected black sand bay before navigating a labyrinth of underwater lava arches, deep crevices, and swim-throughs that transition into open sand flats.
Extensive volcanic topography featuring lava tubes, overhangs, and natural arches
Expansive garden eel colonies swaying along the outer sandy perimeter
Frequent winter sightings of angel sharks resting on soft sediment
