Dive-site story
Situated along the dramatic volcanic cliffs south of Los Cristianos, Palm Mar Wall drops onto a sandy seabed scattered with basalt boulders. The site features shallow overhangs and a small blowhole cavern known locally as El Bufadero. Green sea turtles and stingrays frequently patrol the reef edge, while angelsharks bury themselves in the adjacent sand flats during cooler months.
Frequent encounters with resident green sea turtles cruising along the cliff base
Large stingrays and eagle rays resting on the sandy floor
Basalt caves and overhangs sheltering moray eels and trumpetfish
