Tunnel - Kas & Kekova

The Tunnel site, near Kas, is a fairly straightforward swim-through, popular with newer cave divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration. We found the entry wide and inviting, leading into a dark but manageable passage. Look for schools of anchovies darting in and out, often illuminated by the natural light filtering through cracks. It’s a good option for a second dive, offering a different kind of topography without significant challenge.
