Elephant Cave lies near Cape Drapano on the Apokoronas coast east of Chania and is reached by fast RHIB. Blue Adventures lists a maximum depth of 12 m, 19-26 C water and 20-40 m visibility. The cave has a spacious main chamber with stalactites, stalagmites and a breathable air pocket, and fossilised remains of ancient elephants and deer are embedded in the walls. A Crete tourism guide calls it a specialised diving site that should only be approached with properly qualified guides.
