This sea cave has its entrance on a short wall on a shoal about 1,000 meters off shore from Maricaban. The main cavern is at 45m, is hemispherical in shape, has a high ceiling and is generally a safe overhead dive. Two corridors lead back from the main cavern and take you just to the limits of the daylight zone. Flashlight fish can be found here. The main part of the cavern harbours many groupers, Marble Rays, and reasonable chance of sharks ( Mapating means Many Sharks in the local language, Tagalog.) In the right hand tunnel there is a low restriction which leads into a true cave, a passage way leading down into a large chamber which you enter at 57m. Here also there is a good chance of seeing big rays which seem to favour the total darkness to lay their corkscrew shaped eggs. Though hard to locate this is a fascinating dive at the cavern or full cave level.
