Time your dive for mid-morning when sunlight angles into the cavern and tunnel openings, making the passages far easier to read and photograph. Watch the surge on entry and exit at the boat: it can push you hard against rocky surfaces, so hold your position until the swell settles.
The site is reached easily from shore.
