Pedra Talieiro is a boat-access reef located off the coast of A Coruna, Spain. The site features a reef structure reaching depths between 15 and 28 metres. Divers encounter mild currents, though conditions are characterised by cold Atlantic water temperatures ranging from 13C to 17C and variable visibility of 5 to 10 metres. Due to these environmental factors, this site is suited for intermediate divers. A thick exposure suit, such as a 7mm wetsuit or a drysuit, is necessary to manage the cold water. Divers should maintain close contact with their guide to navigate the potential for shifting visibility during the dive.

Pack a drysuit or a thick wetsuit of at least 7mm, as 13 degrees Celsius is common even in summer and will cut a dive short if you are under-insulated. Visibility can shift quickly, so confirm conditions with local dive operators before heading out, as they will know the recent state of the site better than any forecast.
Located in Malpica de Bergantiños, Costa da Morte. Access to the nearby Islas Sisargas requires private boat hire from the port.
