About La gruta
La Gruta is a sheltered Galician channel dive beside Paxarinas beach, where a rocky passage runs close to the coast and opens into a calmer pool at the far end. It is worth the trip for divers who want shallow rock structure, clear water, and a site that feels easy to read once you are in the channel. The outer rock garden adds more life and texture, so the dive works best as relaxed scenic diving rather than a hard, technical profile.
