Raton de Guetaria

5.0(2 reviews)Spain, Basque Country

A very easy dive, due to the fact, that this part of the "Raton" (rock), is protected from the Galician winds. A lot of invert life, including sea fans, lobsters and octopuses. A lot of rock fishes, and eventually, from June to September, schools of big Mola Mola fishes. Beware of fishing nets,rods and boats! We are very near the marina! In addition, big anchors of the seventeen century ships that were involve on the famous battle between French army and Spanish armada, can be seen. Only a short boat tryp from the Guetaria marina. Turn left from the marina, and then turn again left. If you want to, you can hire the local diving center services. Raton de Guetaria is also known as Raton.

Guetaria Beach

4.7(3 reviews)Spain, Basque Country

Night dive.A beach with a very easy access, and very easy level. A lot of facilities around. In winter, a dry suit will be needed (or recommended!). The dive starts in the artificial dock, and goes down gently, into a fine sand bottom. Red mullets,Scorpionfishes, rare crabs, electric rays, cuttlefish, octopuses, squids and many animals will be seen in this relaxing dive. Quite near, in the new docks, there is a PADI dive center. From shore; in the middle of Guetarian fisherman`s village Guetaria Beach is also known as Getaria.
