Above water, the “green pearl of the Canaries” offers plenty of nature and a wide range of activities. The island has retained its originality and has so far been spared from mass tourism.We have year-round diving.
Diving on La Palma
Numerous volcanic eruptions in the history of La Palma formed one of the most spectacular underwater landscapes in the world: Bizarre lava formations, steep walls, basalt arches and canyons, which can be seen in the clear Atlantic waters form the backdrop of the dives.The warm Atlantic Ocean between 19° C and 26° C surprises with its subtropical to tropical fauna and visibility of up to 40m. The dive sites are located on the entire southern half of the island and are only slightly dived.
Directly in front of the base on the west coast is the house reef of Tauchpartner La Palma, which offers for everyone – from the beginner to the professional – exciting dives. We arrange small diving groups individually according to the wishes, interests and skills of divers. At the same time, photographers also get their money’s worth, because Georg takes photographs himself with passion and leads his proteges to the highlights of the marine worlds off La Palma. The biologist MC offers courses on the marine biology of the East Atlantic on request. The courses can be certified according to the guidelines of the VDST and other associations. Highlights: Combined dive tours with large boats, such as The historic crab cutter MS Bussard and individual single and multi-day trips with a sailing catamaran.
Our dive center
The modern and generously equipped diving center of La Palma is located directly on the beach promenade in the small tourist town Puerto Naos with the most beautiful beach on the sunny west side of the island. The 170m² diving center includes training room, shop, workshop, storage area for rental and private diving equipment and a section for debriefings.
Georg, Barbara, the instructors and the other team guarantee a personal ambience, individual service and a well-founded diving education from the beginner to the instructor (PADI and CMAS). Of course, we also guess trained divers and gladly show you the underwater world and -Fauna of the East-Atlantic before La Palma. Our house reef is at the same time a very attractive dive site with depths for each training level and the entrance is only 50m from the base. Compressors from Bauer guarantee best air quality.
Accomodation on La Palma
In Puerto Naos and surroundings, the Melia Hotel Sol La Palma (400m from the base), as well as apartment houses and facilities, offer accommodation possibilities for every need. The diving base is located in the building of the renowned apartment house Playa Delfin, whose domiciles all offer a magnificent sea view. These apartments are bookable directly through the diving school or even partially through tour operators.
The island of La Palma
La Palma – the wild and green island of the Canaries – has been spared by mass tourism. In 2017, the Isla Bonita still shows its originality. At the birth of La Palma from volcanoes, unique landscapes formed both above and below water. In the west and south of the island are spectacular submarine mountains and lava caves, created during the eruptions of San Juan 1949 and Teneguía 1971 – an Eldorado for diving! But also on land, the island offers numerous sports and leisure opportunities. The price level on the island is still low compared to other Canary Islands. La Palma is the only one of the small Canary Islands with an international airport. This means that the island can be reached with different airlinesdirectly from different countries of europe in about 4.5 hours
We look forward to your visitBarbara, Georg and Team
