Tunnels & Caves

The site is situated on the far east of the island along the Cape Greko peninsula. The site is characterised by crystal clear waters and a shallow sandy bottomed floor at around 12m which is perfect for beginners.

 

The name of this dive site comes from the many tunnel like swim throughs that are present around the dive site which contain an array of marine wildlife. Due to the shallow depth and water clarity the light beams can truly sparkle as they shine through some of the openings in the swim throughs. 

 

The site has a number of easy  access/egress points including access via a hole at the top of the cave.

 

 

Although it is an early start, the drive to this dive site is well worth it (especially since it includes the obligatory breakfast stop off for coffee and pastries).
