After 12 miles by boat from the diving center we reach the beautiful beach of Agiofarago at the end of a gorge with a lot of history.
At the point we will dive into a geological formation with a large volcanic hole 40 meters long that is supplied with seawater through a tunnel 30 meters long and 6 meters wide.
There is no current, visibility is very good (20m +), and on the surface of the cave the water is cold as fresh water enters from the top of the cave.
