This dive site presents a unique experience. Entry is through a narrow opening in a small cove, requiring a right turn immediately and swimming through saltwater to reach the freshwater section. Following this passage upwards leads to an area beneath tree roots. The exit involves retracing the route but turning right and ascending over a rock face to discover another, smaller navigable exit. Note that the cave environment is consistently colder than surrounding areas. Divers may have the opportunity to observe stingrays in the bay outside the cave system. Consider this site suitable for experienced divers comfortable with navigating enclosed spaces.
