Although the site is rated beginner-friendly, the cave and canyon sections count as overhead environments, so enter those areas only if you are comfortable with your buoyancy and have overhead training. Bring a torch regardless of whether you plan a night dive, as the canyon walls shade the deeper passages even in daylight.
Access is via daily boat trips departing from the harbour in Kas.
