The site features a thermocline, with surface temperatures reaching 20°C in summer and deeper water remaining at 5-6°C.

Because the site involves an overhead environment in the cave sections, do not enter without the appropriate cave or cavern certification and a dedicated cave diving light, even if the entrance looks short. Check locally before visiting, as facilities are not guaranteed and conditions, including current, can change quickly on this reservoir.
