Ons – Cueva de la Gata – Galicia – Rías Baixas & Costa da Morte

Site Overview

The Cueva de la Gata is a sea cave on the island of Ons within the Atlantic Islands reserve, its chamber glowing with glassfish and sheltering lobsters and morays among the granite. Advanced divers explore the overhead environment with a torch, while careful buoyancy keeps the silty cave pristine. The protected status and permit system ensure a calm, uncrowded experience, and the clear cool water makes the light play beautiful. Cueva de la Gata is a highlight of the Ons coastline. The site rewards careful planning, good buoyancy and respect for Spain’s marine-protection rules, and remains a favourite among divers who value dramatic volcanic or Mediterranean scenery, historic wrecks and rich marine life across a long, varied season.
