Descending into the Abyss
The triangular entry, sculpted from solid rock, guides divers to a depth of 33 meters, revealing the entrance to the expansive cave system. As you navigate through impressive halls and parallel tunnels along the coast cliffs, the cave unravels its mysteries, gradually deepening from 33m to 40m.
A Challenging Dive for the Experienced

Venturing deeper, a bowling ball-shaped hall captivates divers approximately 25 minutes into the exploration. With depths reaching around 50 meters, this cave system demands the expertise of experienced divers, emphasizing the need for various gases due to compressed air limits and extended decompression.
