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.
