10Diving "Elephant Cave" with Omega Divers, Almyrida, Crete26 Jun 2016This was a unique and wonderful experience. Having dived +500 dives this was in the top 2 (along side the Whale Shark in Panama!). A short boat ride from Almyrida we did a warm up wall dive and then for second dive experienced Elephant cave. You enter the cave system at about 10m through large opening and then dive up the length cave system ~180 m swimming around stalagmites and prehistoric elephant bones in the floor of the cave. 75% of the way you have access to surface within the cavern so there was none of the expected claustrophobia. You then surface inside the cavern and enjoy the beauty in torch light.Omega Divers were one of the best operations I've dived with. They did hotel pick-up, had great equipment, very good hooded 5mm wetsuits and LED torches. Staff and Instructors were great and very knowledgeable about the history of the cave. The DVD with photos from the dive was a bonus. |
