The dive
A well-known shore dive near Athens: recreational divers (AOW) dive the shaft to -30 m. Water flows into the cave all year, even your exhaled bubbles are drawn in, and the flow gets stronger inside the passage.

Profile and sections
A well-known shore dive near Athens: recreational divers (AOW) dive the shaft to -30 m. Water flows into the cave all year, even your exhaled bubbles are drawn in, and the flow gets stronger inside the passage. Visibility is 10–30 m; the water 14–23 °C depending on the season.
The team that mapped the cave advises everyone against going in.

- Opening at -11 m, vertical shaft to -28.5/-30 m, where the passage starts (~1 m high, 1.5 m wide). Mapped to 145 m, max -44/-45 m. Side passage ('stairway') 1–1.5 m wide from -16 to -28 m. Sources differ on the size of the opening (3 m to 5.5 × 6.5 m).
- Configuration
- The shaft itself is roomy; the passage behind it is low and narrow with a strong inflow: sidemount or small kit.
- DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
- Low, narrow passage with a strong inflow and a railing: no scooter.
