About El Veril

El Veril is the shallow La Bombilla lava route on La Palma, built around easy shore access and close-up macro hunting. It threads through volcanic forms and a narrow crevice packed with life, so the best dive is a slow, near-rock search rather than a long swim. The site works well for all-levels scuba and for photographers who want structure, color, and a simple plan.

Scuba Diving

A shallow dive described as suitable for all levels, passing through lava formations and a volcanic crevice with macro life.

Freediving
