Profile from the dive La Cueva Grande
Diving with a depth maximum of 23 meters lasting about 60 minutes. The current can be a determining factor and the route will vary depending on it.
There is a section of the dive that is done indoors, so it is important to have good buoyancy and efficient finning.
The entry and exit are the most demanding points of the dive, so it is essential to enter and exit exactly where planned.
Mandatory use of buoy: It is mandatory to enter and exit at the designated entrance to avoid possible problems with motor vehicles and in the event of having to make an emergency ascent in another place, always throw a signaling buoy before ascending to the surface.
Mandatory use of cable cutters or knives: In this area, non-professional fishing with a “gun-forbidden” rod is permitted, so it is necessary to have a line cutter in case of accidental entanglement with a fishing line.
What to see during the dive in La Cueva Grande of marine life?
This is a dive in which Backlighting takes on great importanceAlthough the name of the dive is La Cueva Grande, which we will visit in its entirety, we will actually also visit other caverns such as the Verrugatos Cave.
In the cave of the warts we can see a bright area in the deepest part, this is due to a hole in the upper part. This play of light is curious and very appreciated for taking underwater photos and videos.
Regarding the species that we can find, among many others, we will focus on those that are associated with cavernous areas, such as giant anemones, scarlet lady shrimp, moray eels, groupers, and many more.
