Local Intel For Ligid Caves
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Expect a reef slope, two cave systems, black corals, and schooling fish. Tight buoyancy and light management matter once you drop into the cave sections.
Freediving
This is not a sensible freedive target because the cave systems and depth make scuba the safer mode.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is limited to the surface approach; the cave systems sit well below casual snorkel range.
