Other people's footage, not advice: how someone else dives here says nothing about what suits your team. Dive within your training.

The dive

Brackish, very clear water with haloclines, 18–19 °C (June); at -5 m small streams of fresh water come out of the wall. The stalagmites are huge: one of 5 m at the entrance (one third underwater) and one of 6.6 m.

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 is on land, on the rocks a few metres above sea level.
