The dive

A drowned land cave with stalactites and stalagmites on the ceiling. Fresh water in the upper part blurs visibility. There is plastic in the cave (diver report).

Profile and sections

A drowned land cave with stalactites and stalagmites on the ceiling. Fresh water in the upper part blurs visibility. There is plastic in the cave (diver report).

Practical: not suited to large groups. West coast: undiveable in W/NW swell (majjistral). Maltadives.com rates the site Advanced (boat only, average -20 m) and recommends rebreathers so bubbles spare the ceiling and the visibility.
