Dive-site story
Located along the sheltered northern shoreline of the O Grove peninsula in the Ría de Arousa, this cove offers a relaxed shore entry over gentle sand transitioning into granite boulder fields. Atlantic kelp patches and rocky cracks provide shelter for macro life, cephalopods, and juvenile fish, making it a reliable training and relaxed exploration location protected from the heavy Atlantic swell.
Granite bedrock formations covered in sponges, anemones, and macro algae
Frequent encounters with common octopus and Atlantic cuttlefish hunting across mixed sand and rock
Sheltered conditions inside the ría suitable for navigation practice and night dives
Location
