About this site
El Chino lies along the coastline near A Coruna, on the Atlantic edge of Galicia in northwestern Spain. This stretch of Galician coast is known for its rocky shoreline and exposure to open Atlantic swell, with dive sites typically accessed by boat from local harbors around the A Coruna area. Divers here have reported cushion stars and marbled crabs among the rocks, along with snakelocks anemones tucked into the crevices.
