A recreational shore dive with three tunnels and different routes. Landmarks are a compass rose at tunnel 1 and an iron dolphin at tunnel 2.
Profile and sections
A recreational shore dive with three tunnels and different routes. Landmarks are a compass rose at tunnel 1 and an iron dolphin at tunnel 2. Visibility is 10–30 m. Keep your exhaled air off the ceiling, where the life grows.
Practical: few details are published, so ask a local dive centre. Dive centres ask for Advanced (second level) because of the depth.
- Depth and profile
- Three tunnels between -12 and -32 m: tunnel 1 ~25 m long at ~-26 m, tunnel 2 ~18 m and wider, tunnel 3 the shortest.
- Configuration
- The 'dolphin cave' is at most ~3 m high and ~1.5 m at its lowest.
- DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
- Short tunnels; no gain (estimate)
Who can dive where
- At least Open water / no overhead
- Configurations: Backmount / twinset / Sidemount / CCR / Small cylinders / no-mount (speleo sumps)
- Goes down to 32 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
At Punta de Garbí (Sant Feliu de Guíxols): mostly by boat (3–15 min from the harbour), or from the small Port Salvi beach at Hotel Edén Roc. The pin is the beach.
