Swim throughs among the shallows are possible in this meandering series of cracks, crevices, and caverns. Add some brilliant sunshine, and you'll be drenched in darting, dancing rays.

There are four distinct caves of varied sizes, and the strength and direction of the light beams will change significantly as you walk through. With almost an hour to play, keep moving so you can thoroughly investigate each grotto. This will also provide plenty of opportunities for your other divers to observe and photograph each spot.
