Check locally on the day for surge conditions, as swell can push unpredictably inside the cave and make the overhead environment significantly more demanding than the mild current suggests. Confirm your boat operator carries a current site briefing, as cave layout and entry points are not the kind of detail you want to work out underwater.
Romblon Island is accessible via a 90-minute plane ride from Manila to Tugdan Airport in Tablas Island, followed by boat transport.
