Mina Mari is also known as Mina Mary, El Fanequero.
A sea mountain that rises from 40 metres up to 18 or 20 metres, vertically. It is situated far from the coast (Meñakoz pebble beach), and is quite difficult to find. Visibility ok, and in the walls and little caves of the rock, you can see giant conger eels, lobsters, yellow corals and quite a lot of inverts, as well as sometimes pelagic animals. Beware of sudden strong currents! At 40 metres, the floor is a fine sand extension. By boat from Getxo Marina or from Plentzia docks. A quite long time (more or less 25 minutes). Quite difficult to find the sea mound with the GPS. Meñakoz is also known as Meñakotz.
