Where can you dive in Hendaye to explore the Basque coast, a historic wreck and enjoy Nitrox at no extra charge? PlanetOcean, based near baie de Txingudi, offers unguided or guided exploration dives, with or without equipment hire.
The Saint Sunniva off Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Special trips include the wreck of the Saint Sunniva, a Norwegian steamship that sank in 1917 after hitting a mine. The wreck lies at around 38 to 40 metres and the dedicated trip lasts around 2 hours 30 minutes. The centre also schedules night dives and two-tank trips, particularly towards Saint-Sébastien.
Nitrox 32 at no extra charge
For standard exploration dives, PlanetOcean advertises Nitrox 32 at no extra charge. Divers can bring their own equipment or choose a package including equipment; a torch and dive computer remain excluded from the full package. The centre also offers rebreather dives for those who practise this type of diving.
What prices are advertised in 2026?
When checked in September 2026, unguided exploration dives were advertised from €38. The unguided package with full equipment and guided exploration dives were advertised at €54, while the guided package including equipment was €65. The Saint Sunniva trip was listed from €43 and night dives at €45.
PlanetOcean therefore stands out for an exploration offering broad enough to return several times: standard Basque coast dives, a historic wreck, night diving, Nitrox and more technical formats.
