This dive site, known as La Lava, offers a unique underwater landscape formed by solidified black molten rock, creating a dramatic contrast with vibrant marine life. Divers can navigate along these intriguing volcanic formations, experiencing a free descent accompanied by schools of bogas. While no specific history is provided, the geological formations are a testament to the island's volcanic origins.
The site is home to diverse marine life, including big schools of bogas that gracefully accompany divers. At deeper sections, large rays and Canary Island lobsters can be found sheltering within the hollows of the rock formations. The volcanic rocks are adorned with striking violet algae and bright yellow verongias, adding splashes of color to the dark landscape.
The unique visual spectacle of La Lava makes it an impressive dive at any time of year when conditions are good. Freedivers will appreciate the 'free descent' and the opportunity to explore the interesting topography. Divers should consider bringing a torch to fully appreciate the colors of the algae and verongias, and to spot marine life in the darker crevices.
