About Cañonero el Tajo
Cañonero el Tajo is a boat-access wreck and wall dive at the mouth of Pasaia. The route starts on the rocky outer slope near the harbor entrance, then works across the remains of the historic gunboat and into a deeper channel section where wreck fragments, rock, and metal pieces break up the bottom. Treat it as a sea-state-sensitive dive that rewards careful buoyancy and a local boat plan.
