Average Depth:

Maximum Depth:
25mts
Water Temperature:
16ºC-24ºC
This dive starts at about 9mts deep, in a lava flow, which goes up to 23mts.
As we begin to descend, we can observe rock formations that resemble valleys, with the irregular lower extremity in the 2 united arches that characterize this place.
The cave is surrounded by high arches and serves as a shelter for numerous species of crustaceans, colorful nudibranchs, and the famous Yellow-Damselfish.
We may also be surprised by the usual schools of pelagic fish, such as the school of Bicuda and White Trevally.
