Navigating the intricate network of holes and caverns requires careful planning and good buoyancy control. A dive guide is highly recommended to ensure safe exploration of this maze-like system. There is no known historical significance or specific story behind this dive site; its appeal lies solely in its challenging and rewarding nature. The marine life within Cavernas is rich and varied.

Cephalopods such as octopus and cuttlefish are also common inhabitants, often seeking shelter within the caverns. The overall biodiversity is substantial, making it a rewarding site for underwater photography. The best time to visit Cavernas is likely during the warmer months (May to October), when water temperatures are more pleasant and visibility is typically better. It's essential to check weather and sea conditions before embarking on any dive.

Always dive with a buddy and carry appropriate safety equipment.
