Goudja Cave

Just along from Hekka point is a bay and in the western corner is Goudja cave, the bay is quite deep, the boat anchors quite close to the cave in about 30m of water, however it is not necessary to dive to this depth. The cave entrance is divided into two (one above the other) by a thick bar of rock which has a chimney through it. Whilst the chimney is too small to swim through it is possible to see from one to the other. The top entrance is at about 15m, the bottom is about 25m, the cave goes back a little way, and turns slightly to the left so from the very back of the cave it is not possible to see the exit. It is however only one chamber with no side turnings and therefore relatively straight forward. At the back of the cave it is possible to surface in a smallish chamber through a layer of fresh water, which shimmers with the Halocline, caused by the mixing of fresh and salt water. Inside the cave, can be found lobster, fork beard, and on the slope on the way out the most amazing view of the two azure blue entrances. On the walls of the entrance can be found, nudibranches Crayfish, crabs and all sorts of small life, whilst out in the blue may be seen Stingrays, Eagle rays and other passing pelagic's
