Zorglub. Even the name sounds like a comic book villain, and honestly, the dive delivers a bit of that dramatic flair. This isn't a deep dive, peaking at 19 metres, but it's a brilliant introduction to overhead environments without being overly intimidating. We love how the tunnels are constantly pierced by those magnificent shafts of light; it really makes the whole place feel alive. Inside, it’s a macro feast. You’ll be pushing aside hatchet fish – literally, they can be that thick – as you navigate through. Look closely for things like the tiny Electric Flame Scallop or the colourful Variable Stromb clinging to the walls. Good buoyancy is essential here, not just for safety but to really appreciate the delicate life within and avoid silting up the tight spaces. On the outside, we've spotted humpback parrotfish cruising by and even the occasional tuna if you keep an eye on the blue. Zorglub offers a perfect blend of easy cave exploration and fascinating macro photography, making it a standout for intermediate divers keen to explore something a little different.
