About Palm Mar Wall
Palm Mar Wall is a southern Tenerife wall dive shaped like a broad horseshoe, with crevices and shelters that concentrate marine life along the rock. The site is usually run as a boat dive and is popular because the contours make it easy to find turtles, rays, and schools of fish without turning the dive into a technical challenge. It suits relaxed open-water exploration, gentle drift movement, and training-friendly diving when the sea is calm.
