Cave tunnel dive with light shafts in New Caledonia
Cave tunnel dive with light shafts in New Caledonia
Zorglub is a cave-style tunnel dive in New Caledonia with long passages pierced by shafts of light and a controlled route through confined rock. Outside the tunnels the site opens into a fishy area with sharks, tuna, and other larger marine life, while the tunnel walls hold a rich macro scene. It suits experienced divers who are calm in overhead spaces and comfortable moving deliberately through tighter sections.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight, avoid touching the tunnel walls, and leave enough gas for a calm exit.
Access Restrictions
Do not treat this as an open-water reef; the overhead passages need a guided cave plan.
Legal Notes
Stay on the planned route and follow local cave-dive guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Move slowly through the tunnels, hold a flat profile, and exit with gas in reserve.
Freediving
Not a freedive site; the overhead tunnel sections are scuba territory.
Snorkeling
Not suitable for snorkeling because the key features are inside cave-style passages.
