Les 3 Pics

Les 3 pics is a local dive site in the Basque Coast area, typically accessed from coastal towns like Saint-Jean-de-Luz and nearby fishing harbors. The site features mixed bottom topography with rocky outcrops and small crevices that offer shelter for local marine life. Entry is straightforward from the shore or a small boat, with easy to moderate currents depending on wind and tides. Expect typical Western European shelf fauna: wrasse, gobies, blennies, sea urchins, and crustaceans, along with occasional shoals of small fish around the rocky formations. Visibility can vary with conditions, and divers should plan for shallow to moderate depths suitable for recreational training and enjoyable recreational dives. This site is commonly used for practice dives, short-depth excursions, and introductory drift dives when conditions allow.
