One is from Ghasri valley, where you would walk down some steps that where curved into the cliff that leads down to a pebbly beach. The second entry is from a leader installed at the end of the gorge. The entrance of the cave is facing westerly direction. The entrance you will find it, at 16 meters where you`ll find boulders covered with soft corals and colourful sponges.  The best part of the dive is once you surface in a huge domed vault, air pocket known as Cathedral Cave. With a crevasse couple of meters above the surface on top of the entrance. It gives a breathtakingly combination of natural light and the luminescent blue coming from underwater that makes it an unforgettable memory.
