Cathedral Cave – Għasri Valley

string(961) "[ezcol_1half] The entrance is only 5m below the surface and leads to a huge domed vault where we can surface in a very large air pocket, the ceiling of which is approximately 15 m from the water level. As this cave faces due west, it is better to be dived in the afternoon when it is very well-lit with direct sunlight. Besides this, a small crack in the cliff face 2 m above water provides fresh air as well as adds to the light in the ‘dome’. https://youtu.be/5Dfa375HCyI [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] https://youtu.be/Xk-wsb09x88 At the far back of the cave, where the ceiling is only a metre above the surface, there are two shafts hewn from the rock going straight to the top of the cliff; a sort of well used long ago to fill the saltpans above. However, today this shaft is covered by a stone slab. The cave’s seabed is littered by huge boulders and the view to the outside blue of the ocean is breathtaking. [/ezcol_1half_end]"
