    StandoutDramatic cave topography

    The Cave of Seal, off the Dodecanese islands, is a straightforward cavern dive. Expect to see some light penetration from the entrance, illuminating the rock formations inside. While we haven't personally spotted seals here recently, it's still a nice, easy entry for divers comfortable in an overhead environment, looking for something beyond a standard reef dive. The real draw is the play of light and shadow, not necessarily abundant marine life.

    Safety Notes

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
