Puerto Naos shore reef with volcanic walls and rich fish life.
Sol La Palma House Reef is Puerto Naos's shore-entry volcanic reef, known locally as El Hotel. It starts as an easy beach-access dive and then opens into lava ledges and wall sections that keep the route interesting on repeat visits. The site is valued for its fish life as much as the terrain, with regular sightings of moray eels, rays, frogfish, and larger midwater fish when conditions are settled.
