A diver needs to go down to 15m of depth to reach the entrance to the cave. Only up to five divers at once can enter this triangular pyramid-shaped underwater formation. Within the cave there is an opening allowing daylight to come through, if the weather conditions are favourable. 

Once inside the cave, divers can look forward to a wonderful selection of underwater species. They might come across sea snails, crabs, octopuses, shells, possibly even a few European conger fish or goby. Also, you get to admire the magnificence of nature’s work and appreciate the peace and tranquility of the world beneath the surface.
