Land owner, Bob Caroll, graciously allowed us access to this completely distinctive inland blue hole. Brian had been investigating the upstream section of cave and reserved the large downstream opening for Paul and I to probe. As Paul and I pulled together our equipment and cameras, Brian and Mary went to examine the upstream tunnel. With a maximum depth of 165 feet, the upstream passages bear a similarity to Giant Cave in Belize. The wide passages are decorated with very unusual asparagus-like sponge life and stalky stalactites and stalagmites.
Visibility varies greatly as the tidal flow changes throughout the day.
Paul and I swam across the expansive surface pool and gazed at the abundance of mangrove jellyfish. This little known lake bore an uncanny resemblance to the famed Jellyfish Lake in Palau. As we approached the downstream cavern, our hearts started to beat. The entrance was quite large. We had the feeling we were in for a treat.
