About Cala Illurgieta
Cala Illurgieta is a sheltered Cantabrian cove dive on a west-east slab, best treated as a controlled local outing rather than an exposed open-coast session. The route starts on the slab and works down toward sand, so it rewards divers who like a simple structure with enough relief to stay interesting. Mosaic rays and other small-life encounters make it worth the trip when conditions are calm and the local team can run the route cleanly.
