Profile and sections
Below the cliffs of Cabo Tiñoso lie the mouths of five caves with unusual flora and fauna. Light coming through the openings stands out against the blue water. In places narrow, interconnected passages follow fractures in the rock and open into large vaults.
The caves are numbered: the Herradura (CT-12), the Catedral (CT-11) and CT-17, which one source calls Cueva de los Enamorados and another Cueva del Arco. PADI calls them suitable for all levels.
Practical: the certification level is an estimate; ask the centre which cave you will dive and what they require for it.

How to get there
By boat with a local dive centre (Rivemar in La Azohía dives here). The caves lie in the Cabo Tiñoso marine reserve: diving needs prior authorisation, arranged by the centre. Under a 2020 draft order Loberica is a zone where scuba diving can be authorised, with max. 24 divers a day and no night dives.
