Ensenada de Urdiales (Bahia de Ostende / Matadero / Playa Ostend

★★★★☆ (206)

Also known as Ostende Bay, this dive begins from the artificial beach and follows a calm landscape where sandy bottoms alternate with rocky formations that create natural corridors. It is ideal for try-dives, courses, and night dives, as each corner changes with the light and reveals something new.

Soles and rays on the sand; octopus, nudibranchs, urchins, shrimps and fish schools among rocks. At night, squid, cuttlefish and scorpionfish make it perfect for night dives.
