Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Bueu in the Ría de Pontevedra, this site sits beneath the coastal beacon of Punta Mourisca. Divers explore a rugged underwater landscape formed by massive granite blocks, rocky crevices, and mixed sandy channels. Cold nutrient-rich Atlantic upwellings foster thick kelp canopies and dense invertebrate life clinging to every sheltered rock face.
