Las Cabras

★★★★★ (1,640)

This dive is through a really young lava landscape: Las Cabras is the result of the last volcanic eruption in 1971. In the middle of the black volcano landscape, you will find one of the most colourful dive sites on La Palma. Young lava, perfect visibility, and black coral - a beautiful place do dive.

At Las Cabras, in late summer and autumn, there is a good chance to spot mobulas, and even a whale shark was seen here. Turtles, tunas, groupers, and much more!
