Galicia’s Atlantic coast is a kelp-forest world of granite walls, rich invertebrate life and historic wrecks. The Atlantic Islands reserve across Cíes, Ons and Sálvora delivers spectacular walls, sea fans and huge spider crabs, lobsters and octopus in clear, cool water. The Ría de Arousa hides the Ribó and Prioriño wrecks, while the Costa da Morte off Camariñas and Muxía holds iron-ore wrecks and fierce Atlantic swells. Finisterre’s granite walls host mackerel shoals and the chance of basking sharks. Advance planning and strong-current skills reward divers with some of Europe’s most pristine temperate reefs. This region rewards careful planning and respects Spain’s marine-protection rules, offering rewarding diving across a wide range of experience levels through a long and varied season.
