Scuba Diving on La Palma
Diving during your holidays on the Canary island La Palma is diving in
unique underwater lava worlds. La Palmas coast is splattered with
surprising landscapes and spots of singular beautyness. Here we have
dive spots that visitors rarely forget.
Volcanic eruptions (the last
1971), were creating a long time ago
unique dive sites. They
have formed canyons, caves, arches and archways.
The fascination of the bizarre landscapes is difficult to
describe, they convince themselves by diving on La Palma.

Diving on the Canary island of La Palma
La Palma, Canary Islands ... The typical
residents of the Atlantic are barracudas, groupers, tunas, large
butterfly and sting rays,also subtropical species such as
trumpet fish, puffer fish and triggerfish.
Nearly 700 species of fishes have been catalogued in the waters
of the canary islands. Depending for example on the geographic
situation, streams or curents and as well on the water
temperature it is possible to find different kind of species
like mediterranean or north atlantic species.
In the water of the canarian islands you can
find both and as well several species which are endemic
in the waters of the canary islands.
Endemic means that they are just living in that waters,
no where else.
A good example for that kind of species is the "dusky
grouper" which could have a length up to 1,50 metres.
Beautiful to dive, the proximity to the Canary Islands stream
brings La Palma in the annual average water temperature around 1
to 2 degrees more than the rest of Canary Islands.
The average is between 23 to 24 degrees (18 to 21 in the winter
season, in summer season between 23 and 26 degrees).
