Pau

Pau sits inland in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, far from the coast, so there is no local sea diving. The city is known for its foothill scenery and Basque cultural links. For divers, Pau is a gateway to access coastal sites along the Bay of Biscay within a few hours’ drive, and nearby freshwater options exist in other parts of the region for training or local dives when visiting. With limited local centers and no on-site dive sites, most diving activity involves arranging trips to reach the coast or reserves in the broader southwest France area.
