Air fills, equipment rental, and a dive shop are available on-site, so you can travel light, but confirm tank availability ahead of your visit as cave sites can draw technical divers who run multiple fills. Night diving is permitted here, and the cave residents, particularly the lobsters and prawns, are far more active after dark.
