The Big Cave
Inner-atoll cavern dive with a fishy reef front.
Boat-access cavern dive in Meemu Atoll; plan for overhead comfort, current timing, and a reef-front with sharks and schooling fish.
About The Big Cave
The Big Cave is a Meemu Atoll cavern dive along Faru, with a long inner-atoll tunnel, soft-coral walls, and a fishy reef edge outside the opening. It is a boat dive rather than a shore site, and the main planning questions are cave comfort, current, and how the team wants to use the opening and reef front. The site suits divers who like overhead structure, steady buoyancy, and a route that can shift with the channel.
