Cathedral Cave
Cathedral Cave is a popular cavern dive off the north coast of the Akrotiri peninsula, discovered and surveyed by Blue Adventures. It goes to about 21 m with 13-40 m visibility and is known for light shafts from above, formations and freshwater pools. The operator links the cave to a Minoan-era tsunami after the Santorini eruption.
