Shore cave dive with shallow tunnels and easy entry.
Cape Greco Caves is a shallow shore dive on the Cape Greco coast, where limestone tunnels, overhangs, and short swim-throughs make for an easy route that can be repeated without much complexity. It suits new divers and snorkellers on calm days, with published entry and exit points keeping the overhead sections straightforward when the sea is settled.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Stay on the published entry and exit points; the overhead sections need calm seas and disciplined route choice.
Access Restrictions
Use the published shore entry and exit points only; winter cave entry may be restricted for monk seal protection.
Legal Notes
Cape Greco is a protected forest park, and winter cave access can be restricted to protect Mediterranean monk seals.

The shallow passages can work for calm-day freediving, but the overhead sections need caution.
Snorkeling
The shallow cove and route can work for snorkellers on calm days, though the cave sections still need care.
