The area has taken its name from the cave which is found at 12 metres depth and Helectra, its occasional inhabitant, a beautiful big Mediteranean Monk seal (Monachus Monachus). If Helectra doesn´t come to greet us while we are still on the boat, it means that she is away, so in this case we can start our dive with a short visit to her "house". Going further we pass under an impressive dome and as we swim west, we follow the abrupt rock down to 40 metres depth. On our way down, numerous holes at the body of the rock always hide little surprises, which are a constant challenge for those with an eye for detail.
