We call this dive Tambo, because it is located precisely in the area of Jaizkibel called Tambo point. It is one of the farthest dives from the mouth of Pasaia, perfect for lovers of good scenery. A dive perhaps somewhat different from the others, which makes us enjoy its canyons and “caves”, and a very unique landscape. and a very singular landscape. The perfect day to make it, is a sunny day, since we will be able to appreciate better the backlights in the caves, showing us all its beauty.
The dive repeats the relief seen in Jaizkibel: a large slab lying in an east-west direction and several large cuts that cross it from north to south. The slab rises up to 10m, and descends to 25m in the canyon cuts. The anchor (anchorage) is usually about 15 m. deep, right next to a large canyon.
The typical dive is done by taking a canyon heading North, at a depth of about 20m. and at the end of the canyon, we will head East, leaving the wall to our right arm. We will see a slab with cuts in several areas, these are the canyons. We pass through the second canyon on the north face and return to the south. Here we must be careful not to go too far south because the relief is no longer so defined and it is difficult to orient ourselves. In the south are what we call caves, one of the great peculiarities of this dive, which are actually passages between rocks, which allow us to have fun navigating between them. In the last part, we will see a small passage that will take us back to the beginning of the dive, the canyon.
In this dive we must be careful with the bottom time, since we dive at certain depths for a long time.
This dive is not exactly characterized by the life that we can locate in it, but there is always the possibility of finding macro life (nudibranchs, planaria,…), spider crabs and conger eels. We should also keep an eye on the surface because we can see moons and striped bass.
