Dive Into the Unknown: Discover the Hidden Underwater Paradises That Will Revolutionize Your Next Adventure
The Cauldron
Three days of thrills culminated at The Cauldron, a place with such a strong current that you can literally see it bubbling from the surface. It began with an unassuming drift dive over a coral garden, complete with gorgonian fans and coral bommies, then the current began to pick up as the floor went from 75 to 45 feet and the walls closed in. Soon we were speeding through a narrow canyon along a fish superhighway.
Looking through the swirling water and past the tuna traffic, we spotted our guide signaling to huddle up and hang on! We secured ourselves with a reef hook (the only way to stay in one place) and let the marine life—schools of midnight snapper, giant trevally, even a few sharks—whiz by. After 10 minutes, we pulled our hook and rode “The Shotgun” until the currents dissipated and our hearts stopped racing. Slightly terrifying, utterly amazing.
