About Deep cave
Deep cave is a boat-accessed cave dive in the Three Islands group near Tekirova, built around a short overhead section, a shaft of light through the cracks, and rock-and-islet terrain that rewards careful buoyancy. It suits experienced divers better than casual sightseeing, and the wider area is known for clear Mediterranean water and rich fish life.

Local Intel For Deep cave
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
This is the right mode for the site: a deep cave with an overhead section, boat access, and enough structure to reward careful buoyancy and planning.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site. The depth and overhead section make scuba the sensible choice.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the point here; the cave features sit too deep for casual surface viewing.
