The La Palma Volcano

Los Llanos, Sunday 3 October 2021

Dear friends, divers,

On September 19 at 15:15 a volcano erupted on La Palma! No news for many. This situation makes diving/working impossible for us at the moment. It is not possible to dive on the entire west side. The access road to the east and south sides is only open to necessary traffic. In addition, the air quality cannot be guaranteed, so we do not want to take any risks; we don’t fill bottles. The amount of ash also causes a lot of nuisance over the entire island, which is very bad for the diver and the diving equipment.

We don’t know how long this will take. For now we have to close our doors. Hopefully see you soon and otherwise until….

Diving on La Palma is different

The underwater world is unique. Here you dive into a world of volcanic landscapes with lava flows and basalt formations.

Arches of lava and tunnels with surprisingly lots of colour and a wide variety of marine life.

The colours of La Palma

Not only the underwater life is colourful, the seabed also contains a colourful spectacle of algae, plants, soft corals and sponges …

About La Palma

La Palma is the most beautiful and greenest island of the Canary Islands. It is also called La Isla Bonita (the beautiful island) or La Isla Verde (the green island). Because of the very mild climate – we live here in an eternal spring – it is suitable for scuba diving all year round. The temperature of both the air and the water never gets extremely cold and never extremely hot.

And La Palma is a quiet island without no mass tourism. You can imagine yourself here as Palmero under the Palmeros and you will soon find yourself in daily life. The magic of La Palma is special.

In addition to diving and snorkelling, there is a lot to do here. Read more…
