The name Turtle Town will become obvious as we explore the area, where it won’t be IF we see a turtle, but how many! Don’t be surprised if we see a few white tip reef sharks trying to catch a morning nap after a long night of hunting!
There are more than 5 caves at this dive site. Most divers should have no problem exploring at least the first three caves of the dive site on the first dive, and these are some of the more interesting ones to visit! The first cave we come to is referred to by divers as either the sand cave or the shark cave!
The second is called the bubble cave, because there is an air pocket inside of this cavern, that we can pop up to the surface inside of this cave! We will feel some pressure on our ears inside of the bubble, so divers that have difficulty equalizing, may want to avoid doing this, or you may have trouble your ears upon leaving the cave!
The final cave we make our way to is the cave we like to call Mini Cathedral because as you enter the cave the light shining in the sky above creates beams of light hitting the floor of the sandy bottom cave through the rocky skylights above. This is a similar experience you would have in the well known Cathedrals dive off the coast of the island of Lanai. If you like caves and want to avoid being sea sick or the early morning roll calls of a dive boat, this dive is for you!
