Fossil Cave / Els Fossils

About this dive site

This dive site, known as Fossil Cave, offers a unique experience for experienced divers. The entrance is located at the back of an overhang, approximately 14 meters below the surface. Divers navigate using a reel and line to return through the letterbox-shaped cave entrance, which is relatively small. Once inside, a large chamber awaits with crystal clear water. As you ascend slightly to the left, you’ll encounter a small air pocket before surfacing via a freshwater halocline. The cave is famous for its fossil deposits found on the ceiling. A notable feature of this dive is the potential to locate two large conger eels that inhabit the area. Due to the limited visibility and the fact that the main entrance isn't always visible from the surface, this site is only suitable for highly experienced divers.
