Cangas, Galicia, Spain
Cabo Home is the rugged headland on the northern shore of the Vigo estuary directly opposite the Cies Islands, exposed to the full strength of the Atlantic and within the boundary of the Atlantic Islands National Park buffer zone. The dive site is a series of granite walls and rocky shoulders descending from the surface to 30 metres, with the typical low-visibility, kelp-draped Galician character: viz averages 8 to 12 metres and ambient light is filtered by the tannic green water and seasonal brown algae. Marine life is dense and large by Atlantic European standards, with very large European seabass schools, ballan wrasse, brown meagre, conger eels, common lobster, pollack and the seasonal arrival of mackerel schools and tuna in the offshore blue. Currents around the cape can be sharp and the site is exposed to swell, so it is reserved for advanced divers and only dived in calm summer windows.
