Dive in beide Caves beim Monte da Guia bei Horta auf Faial.
Starke Brandung in beiden Höhlen (starkes vor und zurück)
4 kleine Adlerrochen, 1 tote Muräne
Sterne: 3
Located on the slope of the Guia Hill, these two very large caverns lie only 50 metres from each other, both at a depth of 20 metres. This dive is only advisable for experienced divers certified to dive in caves, but if that is the case then given the proximity between the two caverns it is possible to visit both during a single dive. You can even stop to visit a small shipwreck between the two.
The entrance to the cave lies at 20 metres, followed by a long corridor that is less than 2 metres wide and ends in a large chamber. There are stunning backlight effects inside the dark cavern and the walls are colourful, with various species of starfish, nudibranchs, European fan worms
