Dive Site Photos

Summary

Palm Mar Wall is a steep underwater volcanic cliff dive that follows a vertical rock wall down into a deep sandy channel. The site is highly biodiverse and is noted for frequent sightings of large rays (bull rays, eagle rays and stingrays) and sea turtles. The wall descends from about 8-10 m at the top to 24-26 m on the sandy bottom. Visibility is typically around 20 m and water temperatures range roughly 18-24 °C depending on season. Currents are usually light. The site is accessed by boat with entry at the cliff base and is suitable for open-water certified divers. No special hazards or restrictions are reported beyond standard open-water precautions; divers should be mindful of buoyancy near the wall and wear appropriate exposure protection.
