    Turtle Cavern, in Kenting National Park, offers a straightforward cave dive. You’ll find a spacious opening that quickly leads into a series of smaller chambers, often with a few resident fish darting through the shadows. It’s a good spot for those wanting to try their hand at overhead environments without deep penetration, generally suitable for advanced open water divers comfortable with buoyancy.

    Safety Notes

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
