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

The dive

Sea cave with two large chambers full of stalagmites and several air chambers where you can surface. Fresh spring water mixes with seawater at the entrance: a halocline with poor visibility.

Halocline and strong outflow at the entrance: poor visibility in the mixing zone and a lot of resistance.
Collapse hazard: part of the largest air chamber has collapsed and rocks fall from the ceiling.
Profile and sections

Sea cave with two large chambers full of stalagmites and several air chambers where you can surface. Fresh spring water mixes with seawater at the entrance: a halocline with poor visibility. The water is 13–16 °C all year, and monk seals visit now and then.

A 2008 study estimated the outflow at ~30,000 m³ a day. The cave is regarded as one of the first caves where Greek divers complete their cave training.

Depth and profile
Entrance -4/-5 m, ~10 m wide; max -12 m (Grafas) to -14 m (T2B). Length 85–90 m, up to 53 m wide; the northern section ends after ~60 m.
Configuration
Roomy chambers: all configurations. At the entrance you swim against outflowing spring water.
DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
Short cave (~90 m): no scooter 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, about a mile from Korfos beach; a local fisherman regularly takes divers to the cave. According to T2B the largest air chamber connects to land via a steep slope.
