Plongée à La Palma — Spain
La Palma's volcanic coastline plunges into Atlantic blue, creating dramatic lava arches, tunnels, and caverns teeming with Atlantic marine life. The 2021 eruption added new underwater topography that is rapidly being colonized. Excellent visibility and warm-ish water make it an accessible year-round destination.
