Head into the beach of Abama and descend in shallow water. Head to the breakwater and pass it to get to the open ocean. Be careful for the swell and waves.
On calm days, take the swimthrough to get out of the bay.
Pass the volcanic walls that look like giant steps to get to the cave. This cave is one of the largest underwater caves found on the island. In the first part of the cavern, find sting rays below the edges of the cave, and looks for anemones, lobsters and other nocturnal marine life. In the second part of the cavern one can find some underwater air pockets, including one that has an opening to the surface. The bottom is mostly rocks, and one can find some old electrical lines from the farms littering the bottom of the cave. There is no current though one should be careful during tide changes and when the ocean isn't calm as the swell can be particularly hard inside the cave. The cave can be dived to about 88 meters inside.
