    StandoutDramatic cave topography

    Caverna, as the name suggests, is a cave dive in Costa Brava, offering an accessible introduction to overhead environments. Sunlight often penetrates the entrance, illuminating the rock formations inside. It's a good choice for divers wanting to explore a cavern without venturing into deep, dark systems, typically suitable for those with some experience. We find it’s best when the Mediterranean is calm, ensuring clear entry and exit.

    Safety Notes

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