About this dive site

This dive site is located in a small bay north of Cape Negro. The entrance and exit to the Shrimp Cavern are marked by a small and large gap within the cliff face. This underwater cave offers a unique experience suitable for divers of all skill levels due to its wide, clean environment. The seabed consists of smooth pebble stones, providing a comfortable footing. Colorful sponges and small shrimp thrive along the cavern walls. A backlight illuminates the exit approximately 5 meters deeper into the cave. Crystal-clear waters and the use of a flashlight create a truly immersive dive experience.
