Bermeo Penta Sub - Costa Brava
Bermeo Penta Sub operates out of the Costa Brava, a region we know well for its varied diving. They mainly run boat trips to the local sites, which mostly means rocky reefs and walls with plenty of gorgonians and grouper. It’s a solid choice for certified divers looking for straightforward, no-frills access to the area’s underwater topography. We find the diving here generally suits those who appreciate temperate water marine life over tropical colours.
