Cueva del Palm-Mar

Cueva del Palm-Mar, also known as Palm-Mar Cave, is one of the most impressive boat dives in the Las Galletas area. Around 10 minutes from the harbour, this site is best suited for Advanced Open Water divers and above because of the depth and the more demanding profile.

The dive usually starts around 16 metres before heading over the edge towards the cave area, where the entrance sits around 27 metres. Along the descent, the reef is full of structure, darker corners and plenty of life to look for, including moray eels, reef fish and, with some luck, rays passing through the area.

With a maximum depth of around 40 metres, this is a dive that needs experience, good buoyancy and proper guidance. The combination of depth, volcanic topography and the cave entrance gives Cueva del Palm-Mar a more adventurous and serious feeling.

It is one of Tenerife’s standout dive sites for divers who want a deeper, more dramatic boat dive with real character.
