Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Palm-Mar Wall / Bufadero offers some of Canary Islands's richest wall diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Palm-Mar Wall, sometimes called Bufadero, is a solid introductory wall dive here in the Canaries. It's a gentle drift along a reef that drops to about 22 meters, making it quite comfortable for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. You’ll often find schools of barracuda hanging out in the blue, and if you keep an eye on the wall itself, there are plenty of nudibranchs and small crabs tucked into the crevices. We like it as an easy second dive, maybe after something a bit more challenging.
