Turtle Tomb is a special dive which every cave diver must see once in his life!

Turtle Tomb is a cave system located after Turtle Cavern. There are several side tunnels and a small passage way near Barracuda Point.

This dive requires specialist equipment and an experienced local diver who knows the cave.
