Ghar Lapsi: (Max. Depth: 20 metres)

Take a drive full of nice scenery in the countryside to Ghar Lapsi and park the car in the car park just at the bottom of the hill. This is a perfect place to kit up. You will notice a steep hill down to the sea with steps on both sides.

Walk down this hill kitted up and keep going straight down. Walk into the water (which is very shallow). If you look straight in front of you, you will spot a small concrete jetty; Snorkel to the tip of this jetty and you will find an entrance to a cave. Dive down and into this cave. It is quiet a big cave inside with a lot of outlets into the open sea. This cave is full of colour and a paradise for photographers. Just to the right of this cave there is a tunnel that you can enter with great caution and it will lead you to a small air pocket (keep your regulator on at all times in this air lock because the air in there is not always fresh). I usually like to swim out of the cave from the very last exit hole. Just by this hole it is not unusual to see the occasional grouper. When you get out of the cave swim straight in front of you to the brilliantly white sand hear you might find the odd star gazer (do not touch this type of fish as it will give a nasty sting). Look out for some cunning flat fish if you’re lucky you will notice the way they camouflage themselves in the sand. Take a right and you will come across a slight drop on your left. Follow this drop out to sea and enjoy the colourful wall full of false coral, sponges, small but brightly coloured fish. Have a good look in the cracks for tubeworm and other creatures such as the brightly coloured red cardinal fish and damselfish with their scissors like tail.

On your return you can either go back through the cave or if you prefer you can swim around the headland.

Caution is to be taken and if the sea is rough do not attempt this dive, because you can get very strong surges in the cave. Strong currents are not unusual in this area.
