Other people's footage, not advice: how someone else dives here says nothing about what suits your team. Dive within your training.
The dive
You dive into a large, cathedral-like chamber, often with hundreds of shrimp along the walls, plus groupers and nudibranchs. Visibility is usually 20–30 m, and you spend ~15 minutes inside the cave.

Practical: mainly for experienced divers. The centres only take Advanced divers, after a first dive with their instructor; how far you go in depends on your certification.
- Depth and profile
- Entrance at ~20–25 m; max ~35 m. A ~2 m wide corridor leads to a larger second dome, with a second exit at ~-30 m onto the Lindos wall; the wall outside drops to 80–110 m.
- Configuration
- Roomy domes and a ~2 m wide corridor: all configurations. The centres guide it with ordinary recreational gear.
- DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
- Short cave (~15 minutes inside): no scooter needed.
Who can dive where
- At least Cavern
- Configurations: Backmount / twinset / Sidemount / CCR / Small cylinders / no-mount (speleo sumps)
- Goes down to 35 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; the entrance lies roughly below the Tomb of Kleoboulos, on Cape Agios Aimilianos on the north side of Lindos bay. The pin is approximate: the shoreline just below the tomb.
