About This Dive Spot

Gruta Lagosteira is a notable cave dive site located on the shore. Divers can enter the cave and explore an initial chamber where conger eels and triggerfish can be observed hiding in crevices. A larger second chamber is accessible, which can be illuminated with flashlights. Both chambers feature a significant air pocket in the ceiling, allowing for easy breathing while inside. Caution is advised due to the presence of venomous scorpion fish and spiny sea urchins, as well as potentially aggressive triggerfish.
