    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Nita Cave is a straightforward cavern dive, shallow and easy to navigate. You'll find schooling glassfish packed into the darker corners, creating some nice light play as you look back towards the entrance. It's a good spot for intermediate divers looking for a relaxing, atmospheric dive rather than big pelagics. We often combine it with a drift on a nearby reef.
