Rikoriko Cave
La profondità indica il range dalla sommità del sito al suo massimo abituale; il "brevetto consigliato" è il livello richiesto di norma dagli operatori delle principali agenzie, non una norma di legge.

Rikoriko is a sea cave so large that tour boats park inside it and singers test the acoustics from the deck. Underwater, the scale inverts the usual cave experience: instead of squeezing through passages, divers hang in an auditorium of dim green light, following walls where the daylight species of the outer reef give way, meter by meter, to the low-light specialists usually found much deeper. The famous local trick is finding gorgeous pale nudibranchs and cup corals in a few meters of water that behave as if it were fifty. Glancing back at the entrance, a blue-white cinema screen with boat hulls floating across it, is the image everyone surfaces talking about.
Il momento che aspettavi: Diving inside one of the world's great sea caves, deep-water species in the shallows, the glowing entrance view
Topografia: Vast sea-cave dome with boulder and wall habitat fading into darkness
Entrata: Boats motor straight into the dome to drop divers; the dive works the walls from the bright mouth into the gloom and back.
Sapere prima di tuffarsi
Pericoli: Darkness disorientation at the back of the dome and boat traffic at the mouth; keep the entrance in sight or a torch on the wall.
Conservazione: Reserve rules apply inside the cave as out; take particular care with fins over the low-light wall life.
