First
Cathedral is large lava tube that is approximately 100 feet in length
and is nearly two stories high, this is an amazing dive site that
is a must do while in Hawaii. As you enter the Chamber for the first
time make sure you take a moment to really appreciate the full experience
of the Cathedral like atmosphere. When the sun's rays enter through
holes in the ceiling they illuminate the chamber and create a stained
glass window effect. There are several rooms and passageways, make
sure you take the time to fully explore for crabs, lobsters, shell
life and the occasional white tip reef shark. There is also a lot
of marine life to be found outside the grotto, so be sure to keep
your eyes open and your camera ready.
Warning: Some areas of the cavern may be off limits when
the surf is strong, make sure to check with your dive guide before
entering.
