Paradise

Do you love caves? Because then Paradise is a paradise dive site for you. To go to this diving location, you must take a boat, then spend your surface interval on a local beach.

With few other boats or divers around, the cave is home to several sea turtles and a healthy reef. There has been a reef for days with no other dive boat or diver insight. It's pure diving heaven. Or, better still, it's a diving paradise, which I'll simply suppose is how this place acquired its name. On calm days, there is also a little cave along the beach where you may discover enormous schools of glassy sweepers, countless lobsters, and crabs.

The beauty of caverns is that with patience, you may view numerous species that are normally hidden from the light. If you go at night, keep a watch out for invertebrates with reflected eyes, cave-dwelling large eyeballs, and the occasional sleeping turtle. The reef around this dive site is thriving, with large and sophisticated coral structures interconnecting and competing for space in this diverse ecosystem.
