Description
Morphology
From the main entrance and descending a drop of no more than 2 metres, you reach a chamber of good size. On its left wall, as you enter, there are two small openings separated from one another (the separation is the wall that reaches water level and would force you to dive). Entering through the one farthest from the entrance, there is a space of about 70 centimetres. Above the water level and with a similar width, you enter walking at first and, as you go deeper, you stop touching the bottom with your feet and can swim. Inside, a fairly spacious chamber opens up where light from outside enters from the other entrance open to the sea. From here you can continue towards the entrance that leads to the sea, but you must exit by breath-hold, or else continue along its wall that leads to another small gallery of dimensions very similar to the gallery through which you entered; following it you reach the aforementioned access chamber, in a short almost circular route.
Hydrology
The floor of the chamber is covered with crystal-clear water, which reaches a little above the knees.
