We all thought our tour guide Deni was a bit crazy when he told us to swim under this tiny crack in the side of a limestone wall!
It was a total trust dive. We played an underwater game of follow-the-leader into the darkness as we dived down. Beneath the surface, the crack expanded into a massive archway brilliantly backlit by the morning sun. Holding our breaths, we kicked under the arch and through a tunnel leading back into the cave.
The small tunnel opened up into a circular room surrounding by jungle vines and dense foliage. Tiny rays of sunlight flickered between the vegetation through a small skylight above. The surreal beauty of this secret cave almost had an Indiana Jones feel of adventure -- surely something must be laced with hidden booby traps around here!
(Alas, the only booby traps around here were my wife's 😉... what an epic honeymoon!)

Nice. Sounds like an amazing dive. I never mastered the snorkel dive. When I lived in Hawaii, it always amazed me how the locals could dive down for a while and come back up and clear their snorkels with almost no effort.
I used to be able to free dive super deep... 31m/104ft was my personal best. Nowadays I'm lucky to break 18m/60ft, and spend most of my time in 10m/30ft or shallower when playing around on the reef.
Impressive. That’s almost as deep as I’ve been in scuba. I think 30m is the furthest I have dived.
