Features
The beach made of cowrie shells inside the cave makes this dive an incredible experience.
At 20 m, there is a large, sandy corridor that rises slightly for a few meters.
As soon as you see the first cowrie shells below you, you should look up: you are already in the impressive Cave of the Cipree.
From the right, sunlight penetrating through a gorge to the cave creates a beautiful play of light.
The further you progress into the cave, the darker it gets and the fewer decorator crabs and Parapandoli inhabit the walls.
The bottom becomes rockier and rises more until you reach the surface.
The cavity contains breathable air, so take out your regulator, put your mask around your neck, and admire the cave walls!
From the "ceiling," you can see the roots of plants dangling and fresh water entering, which even forms small stalactites and stalagmites.
