Plongée à La Gomera — Spain

La Gomera remains one of the least-dived Canary Islands, offering uncrowded volcanic reefs where turtles, angel sharks, and octopuses thrive undisturbed. The UNESCO-listed Garajonay cloud forest looms above crystalline Atlantic waters. A perfect add-on for divers already visiting Tenerife.
