Located at the tip of the Pango Peninsula, The Cathedral is an amazing and delightful cavern dive. The entry to the wide, open cavern is at 22 meters, leading into a chamber where stately shafts of sunlight filter down through the open roof, creating a magical, church-like effect. Divers can swim through the cavern and ascend through a 'chimney' to a large, hidden pool on the surface inside the reef before returning to the outer wall. The site is home to many species of shrimp, nudibranchs, and leaf scorpionfish. While generally a comfortable dive, swells and currents can make conditions tricky, so the dive is often weather-dependent.
