While caressing the shores, the Cantabrian Sea accommodates extensive beaches, steep cliffs, caves, mountains plunging into its waters, undersea arches, and a rich marine biodiversity. From shipwrecks in Muskiz to an underwater mountain range in Sopela that is home to lobsters and conger eels. In Bermeo there are vertigo-inducing cliffs, caves with moonfish and Peter’s fish, and on the eastern shores of cape Matxitxako, there lie the remains of the Mina Mari coal vessel. Plunge your way into an exciting underwater adventure.
