The dive

An easy sea cave for a relaxed day: you surface in a lake under a huge air dome (>42,000 m³ according to Murcia tourism). A June dive log notes 19 °C and ~15 m visibility.

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

Shore dive according to BUCEM and Todoaventuras; local centres also go by boat. West of Cabo Tiñoso below a natural arch. The cave lies in the Cabo Tiñoso marine reserve: in most zones diving needs prior authorisation – let a local centre arrange it.
