Other people's footage, not advice: how someone else dives here says nothing about what suits your team. Dive within your training.
The dive
A large sea-carved cavity in the Punta de la Mona cliff with coral growth; around -30 m you find black coral and anthias. There is slight to moderate current.
Profile and sections
A large sea-carved cavity in the Punta de la Mona cliff with coral growth; around -30 m you find black coral and anthias. There is slight to moderate current. This is a rest-day dive, not a cave dive.
The cave is named after the many amphorae on the bottom. A Greek or Punic breastplate from the 4th century BC was found here, now in Granada's archaeological museum.
- Depth and profile
- Entrance ~-8 m; the cavity narrows and gets shallower inside. Wall to -30 m (one centre says -38 m).
- Configuration
- All configurations; wide entrance, short penetration.
- DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
- Short cavity: no scooter needed.
Who can dive where
- At least Open water / no overhead
- Configurations: Backmount / twinset / Sidemount / CCR / Small cylinders / no-mount (speleo sumps)
- Goes down to 30 m (trimix or deco may be needed)
This is how the planner decides who in your team may dive this cave. Rules your own trip adds (organizer, a mail, the AI) show with your trip.
How to get there
By boat from La Herradura; mooring spot at ~16 m. On the programme of several La Herradura dive centres.
