About Malpique: Colada Teneguía
Malpique: Colada Teneguía is a volcanic shore dive area in Fuencaliente, on the south coast of La Palma. It shares the same water access as the nearby Malpique sites, but is less crowded and therefore packed with marine life. The lava terrain and black coral attract schools of fish, barracuda, tuna, moray eels, pufferfish, and larger predators, making this a rewarding dive for divers who like volcanic scenery and active reef life.
