Las Piramides
Las Piramides: shallow slab dive with lots of small life.
Basque Coast shore site with east-west slabs, shallow relief, and dense small-life action.
About Las Piramides
Las Piramides is a shallow Basque Coast slab dive with east-west rock plates, three prominent stones, and a simple profile that feels more like a careful cruise than a big drop-off. The site is built around low relief, crevices, and small-life hunting rather than coral cover or dramatic depth, so the planning feel is about reading the slab line, keeping track of the bottom, and enjoying the micro scenery as you move along the coast. It is a good match for divers who want an easy-to-read local site with plenty of life in a compact area.

Local Intel For Las Piramides
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A simple local scuba dive with low relief, crevices, and a compact route that rewards slow buoyancy and close observation.
Freediving
The shallow profile makes a surface-level look possible, but the rocky relief and modest visibility make it better suited to scuba than extended freediving.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work on calm days over the top of the slabs, but the site is mainly a scuba dive because the relief is compact and the water is only moderately clear.
