    The Cave in Egypt's Deep South is a straightforward cavern dive, topping out at 19 metres. You'll find a wide opening that gradually narrows, letting in enough ambient light for a comfortable exploration. It's a good choice for intermediate divers looking for their first proper overhead environment without needing advanced cave training. Expect to see some schooling fish just outside the entrance.
