Wear a wetsuit rated for the lower temperature range if you are diving between late autumn and early spring, as 14 degrees Celsius inside the cave can surprise divers who came in summer kit. Watch your buoyancy carefully near the cave walls and reef structure, as the rocks and coral are sharp and the confined sections leave little room for error.
