Malpique: Torre de Malpique

★★★★☆ (800)

A spectacular wall dive for experienced divers. Dive through the open blue to reach a tower covered with black coral and return through an impressive arch. The most stunning dive site on La Palma.

The sandy ground is attractive to all types of rays and, in autumn, there is a chance to spot mobulas. There are also lots of yellow sponges and the famous black corals.
