About Puerto Naos - Playa Chica
Puerto Naos - Playa Chica is a shore-entry La Palma dive where a single beach access point reaches shallow training water, a steep wall, and deeper volcanic channels from the same start. The site stands out for black coral, lava flows, and a wide spread of Atlantic reef life, with moray eels, conger eels, rays, and tuna among the usual highlights. It is easy enough for new divers on the shallow side, but the wall and deeper profiles give experienced teams a much more dramatic dive.
