Check current direction and strength with your guide before descending, as the stronger flows can make cave navigation considerably more demanding than the depth alone suggests. A guided tour is strongly advised for your first visit, as local knowledge of the current patterns at this site is difficult to replicate from a chart alone.
The site is located in a relatively sheltered area of the outer limits of Banderas Bay, halfway between El Morro and the Marietas Islands.
