About Torbogen / Altarhöhle

The wall and openings are heavily coated with sponges and hard corals, and the site is known for groupers, moray eels, octopuses, shrimp, and other Mediterranean fish. Divers should treat the overhead sections slowly and keep the tighter tunnel for trained cavern-aware teams.
