About this dive site

This dive site offers a truly unique experience within the Cabo Tiñoso marine reserve. Divers typically descend to the cave entrance, navigate through an underwater section to an air bubble chamber, where they leave their diving equipment. From there, an extraordinary walk inside the cave leads to a serene inland lake, offering a rare opportunity to swim in a completely different environment before returning to the dive gear.

The marine life encountered in the outer parts of the cave and surrounding waters is common to the Mediterranean Sea and the Cabo Tiñoso marine reserve. Divers can expect to see various species of fish, octopus, moray eels, groupers, damselfish, and sea bream, along with sponges and gorgonians on the rock formations.

The best time to visit this dive site, like most in the Mediterranean, is during the warmer months from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are more comfortable and conditions are generally calm. This dive is particularly recommended for those seeking a unique adventure beyond typical reef diving, requiring comfort in confined spaces and a sense of exploration.
