Entry

Route

You start the dive from here; take the mainland to your left and you will see a wall, go 20 metres at a depth of 12-15 m. Instead, take the wall to your left and proceed to the first finger/cavity. Since the base is covered with sediment, you need to swim parallel to the bottom and move very slowly. At first you may think that the walls move due to the sheer number of shrimps.

Depth

After leaving the first cavity, ascend slowly and enter the second finger entrance which is at 7-8 m. Due to halocline at the entrance, visibility will decrease considerably but you can go to the end of the cavity by moving another 5-6 m in fresh water. You start the dive from here; take the mainland to your left and you will see a wall, go 20 metres at a depth of 12-15 m.
