Second
Cathedral, is a cavern dive like First
Cathedral, the main chamber has a break in the middle with two
large dramatic archways. Second Cathedral is larger than First Cathedral,
with an abundance of marine life to be found in the interior of
the cavern. The countless nooks and pukas are full of shrimp and
other invertebrate so make sure you bring your flashlight so you
can explore properly is and make sure you check the ceiling for
the tubastrea coral and black-coral trees. Depending on the conditions
on the day you dive the entry point drop through the ceiling of
the main chamber or you may shoot through the dark hole. There is
a very large and friendly trumpet fish at this dive site that does
not mind coming close to divers and large eels are common at this
site. Outside the cavern is also worth exploring, with schools of
pyramid butterfly fish and blue-stripe snappers to be found.
Warning: Be especially cautious in shallow areas that have
ceiling holes if there is any surge present. |
