Diver's Notes

Dive Type: Multi-level
Depth: 8 – 20m
Diver Level: Open Water
UW Photography: Wide
About: Not really a cave, but rather a canyon that is open to the surface, this site is suitable for all levels. It gives the feeling of diving in a cavern. Against Coin de Mire, it features big boulders and plenty of sea fans. A variety of fish life from tuna, to moray eels to big groups of blue damsels, Two Caves offers a nice change of pace from other dive sites.

Nice UW landscape, large yellow trumpet fish, huge fan corals in the cravasses, large parrot fishes. Group of 4.
