Biarritz

Biarritz is a coastal city in southwestern France and a well-known surf town that also serves as a gateway for divers exploring the Basque Coast. While it isn’t a top diving hub, local dive centers occasionally run day trips or courses along the Atlantic coast and nearby sheltered sites. Expect mild Atlantic conditions, with chances to see coastal fish, rays, and seals in some nearby spots. For serious diving, many divers head to broader Basque Country or drive to closer access points along the Bay of Biscay or southern Loire-Atlantique sites.
