Phosphore Cave - Kas & Kekova

Phosphore Cave offers a unique experience for divers interested in overhead environments. The cave itself isn't deep, allowing plenty of light to filter in, creating an ethereal glow from the phosphorescent organisms on its walls. It's a short, straightforward penetration, suitable for divers comfortable with basic cave principles and looking for something a bit different from a typical reef dive.
