About this dive site

This dive site, Neptune's Cave, offers an engaging cave diving experience located off the coast of Spain, accessible for divers of all skill levels. The entry and exit points are noted for their ease, making it a suitable choice for beginners exploring cave environments. While specific historical accounts or intricate navigation details are not provided, it is established as a well-regarded site for its underwater cavern formations.

Divers at Neptune's Cave will encounter a variety of marine inhabitants. The waters are home to groupers and different species of lobsters. Smaller, yet equally fascinating, creatures like glass-eye fish, trumpet fish, prawns, and shrimps are commonly observed, often performing cleaning symbiosis within the cave's sheltered nooks and crannies.

The dive site is characterized by typically strong currents, which divers should always be mindful of, despite the straightforward entry and exit. While no specific best time to visit is mentioned, the Canary Islands generally offer good diving conditions year-round. Given its depths and the nature of a cave dive, it is primarily recommended for scuba diving, though experienced freedivers may find it challenging but rewarding due to the depth profile and currents.
