Why dive here
Butterfly Cave is a cave dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), sea turtles and sperm whales.
Butterfly Cave is a swim-through dive on Zakynthos, with a large air pocket inside where you can surface. The light play in the cave is the main draw, especially when the sun hits the entrance just right. We’ve seen octopuses tucked into crevices on the way in. It’s a good spot for newer divers looking for a straightforward cavern experience.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
