Arousa

Arousa is a coastal town in Galicia, Spain, located on the Ría de Arousa in the northwest. It isn’t a major diving hub, but the surrounding region offers mixed diving opportunities. Nearby dive centers are not concentrated in the town itself, and local dives are typically accessed from larger coastal hubs along Galicia’s Atlantic coast. The area features estuarine and coastal environments with moderate visibility and common species typical of Atlantic waters, including schooling fish and various invertebrates. In addition to saltwater options, there is a freshwater site in Rio Agueda for specialty training or practice, though it’s not a primary diving draw for most visitors. If you’re after coastal diving in Galicia, you’ll generally head to nearby ports and dive centers along the Galician coast for guided dives and courses.
