Offshore Tenerife cave dive on a rocky platform with a wall, silt-sensitive interior, and strong life around the entrance.
About Palm-mar Cave
Palm-mar Cave is a boat dive off Tenerife's south coast, set on a rocky platform with a cave entrance and a wall that rewards good buoyancy and a controlled pace. The site is best known for moray eels, rays, and other fish around the entrance and along the rock, while the deeper cave route is for trained teams that are comfortable with overhead conditions and limited visibility if silt is stirred. It suits confident divers who want an offshore cave-and-wall profile, strong life around the structure, and a dive plan that keeps penetration conservative unless the team is properly qualified.
