About Purrustarri
Purrustarri is a structure-rich Basque Coast dive on the lower slopes of Mount Jaizkibel, where east-west slabs and a small fishing-boat wreck create a broken but readable landscape. The site rewards careful boat planning and divers who are comfortable reading rock, wreckage, and changing sea conditions rather than chasing long visibility. It is a good fit for intermediate scuba divers in calm weather windows.
