Today was a lovely day - saw many whales and dove in a cave and swim-through (underwater through a shelf and up into another cave).

[For more information on Mariners Cave, accessible only underwater, visit HERE]

Had a nice talk with Matthias the Dutchman. He's currently living in Suva and was out here on a short holiday.

Caverns like this were formed millions of years ago during one of the Ice ages when they were far above water and rain water or icemelt dripped through the limestone and dissolved the caverns forming stalactites and stalagmites.
