    StandoutDramatic cave topography

    Akkum Kovuk offers an easy introduction to cave diving, just off the coast of Larnaca. The shallow depth, maxing out at 13m, makes it ideal for beginners looking to explore overhead environments without significant challenges. Inside, you’ll find the typical residents of a Mediterranean cave: crabs, shrimp, and sometimes a grouper peeking from a crevice. It’s a straightforward dive, good for getting comfortable in the dark.
