Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Palm-mar Cave offers some of Canary Islands's richest cave diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Palm-mar Cave is a straightforward dive, well-suited for beginners looking to try a cavern experience in the Canaries. The entry is simple, and the cave itself is quite open, letting in plenty of natural light. You'll find a few resident trumpetfish often hanging out near the entrance, and it’s a calm spot to practice buoyancy in an overhead environment. We'd suggest it for an easy second dive of the day.
