Get to know the place

Stoker Cave’s reference describes an entrance near 19 m, a sandy floor around 30 m, and formations in the chamber. Fresh water in its upper section can change visibility. Arrange a specific overhead plan with the centre; the 20 m average and 30 m maximum are site facts, not a route to follow.

Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.

THE WAY IN

Getting there & access

Arrange boat access

The site reference lists boat-only access. The map point identifies the dive site offshore, not a place to board. Confirm the departure harbour, transfer and pickup with your dive centre.

Map reference: 35.8495° N, 14.3790° E · Nearby. The underwater point is separate from the boat boarding location.

Plan for the day you go

Check the current regional wind and sea outlook, then agree the entry, exit, route and required experience with a local operator. Regional forecasts do not measure cave surge, currents, visibility, water quality or closures.

Cave and overhead access requires an on-site assessment and appropriate training and equipment.
