Ongelofelijk mooie grot, via Evelin Dive Center te boeken. Ze nemen O. W. duikers mee, dit keer geen zeehond, wel mammoet botten. 😬

Elephant Cave is a fascinating dive site and probably the best dive site Crete has to offer. The cave consists of two beautiful domes or caverns where you can ascend. There are beautiful stalactites and stalagmites everywhere and the cave contains fossilized remains of animals. Elephant Cave gets its name from the fossil remains of an elephant. The loose bones have been removed and taken to a museum. The highest point of Elephant Cave is 13 meters above sea level in chamber two. The cave is 126 meters wide and up to 4 meters deep. There can be a seal in the cave. Give the animals space.

Particulars

Elephant Cave can be reached by boat. The entrance is 9 meters wide and lies at a depth of 10 meters. The first room is reached through a 40-meter-long underwater corridor.

Warnings

Elephant Cave is suitable for cave divers only. The cave is completely dark. Bring several diving lamps with you. Apply frog kick to avoid dust. Elephant Cave has no open air supply. Do you encounter a seal in the cave? Give the animal space!
