Playa Chica shore dive in Puerto del Carmen with a reef wall, a coral-ledge highlight, and a route that rewards depth control and current awareness.
About Orange Coral
Orange Coral is a shore dive on the Playa Chica wall in Puerto del Carmen, with a shallow entry that drops onto a reef face and a small ledge where the orange soft coral sits. The route mixes wall, sand, moorings, and rock so you can stay shallow for the coral and fish, or continue farther along the wall when current and gas allow.
