To get to this site requires a blue water descent
to the top of a wall in 40m / 130ft which is covered
with whip corals and sea-fans. From there you drop
down the face which bottoms out to a sandy bottom
in 55m/180ft. There, at the western tip of the wall,
is the opening of the cave. It is as wide and deep
as a three-car garage so there is plenty of room
to explore the inside. You will find a large gorgonia
that hangs from the ceiling of the cave, and the
brilliant colors of the soft tree corals come to
life in the beam of an underwater light. Swarms
of smaller fish species and occasional reef sharks
are found outside the cave entrance.
