Overview
Consistently voted one of the best cavern dive sites in the world. Divers hike down a 103-step staircase into a collapsed limestone cave, swimming through three massive underwater exit tunnels out into the open Pacific Ocean.
Access: 103-step staircase and giant stride into the water. You can pay a porter to carry your tank.
Safety: Overhead environment - make sure you have enough gas to return because there is no access on the ocean side.
