About This Dive Spot
Sannat Cave is characterized by a prominent swim-through, accompanied by several smaller passages and a varied landscape of slopes and rocks. The dive site ranges in depth from 3 to 15 meters. Divers should be cautious of local speedboats due to the area's busyness and are advised to use surface marker buoys (SMBs) while staying close to the wall. This site is suitable for advanced divers due to the nature of swim-throughs. Marine life includes common coral fish, moray eels, stingrays, and turtles, with schools of fusiliers often nearby. Additionally, the cave is a habitat for nudibranchs, shrimps, and lobsters.
