Cueva del elefante (Altea)

• Entry: from the boat
• Depth: 12 metres  39 feet

• What to expect:This cave is called elephant cave, because the rock marking the entrance has the shape of an elephant's head. Here it is possible to visit two caves in one dive. The first, Elephant Cave, is in 12m of water and has a broad entrance. The second, 20 metres further along has a double entrance of which one hides just below the water surface and the other is found at a depth of 9 metres. This cave is much larger than the first. Both entrances end up in a huge breathing space with a vast tunnel system, that once out of the water can be explored by foot. All of the tunnels will eventually lead to a dead-end.
  Be sure to find a capable guide and get hold of some lights.
