Cueva del Elefante y El Enano
Cueva del Elefante y El Enano is a shallow cave dive with a surface entry.
Best for calm days and divers comfortable with an overhead route; the cave is shallow, easy overall, and still needs careful navigation.
About Cueva del Elefante y El Enano
Cueva del Elefante y El Enano is a shallow cave dive in the Serra Gelada cliffs, at the foot of the Elephant-shaped rock. The route starts from the surface, moves into a first chamber, and continues to a second chamber with an air bubble, so the attraction is the short overhead route rather than depth. It is easy overall, but it still rewards tidy buoyancy and calm-water planning.

Scuba Diving
Keep buoyancy tight through the chambers and leave room to turn back before the second air pocket.

Not the main fit; the route is better treated as a careful scuba cave rather than a quick free-dive pass.
