Boat cavern with light shafts at Cap Pinar
A local boat operator is the practical way to reach and route this cavern site.
Swiss Cheese is a boat-access cavern system near Cap Pinar with multiple entrances, light-filled holes, and a route that ranges from shallow openings to deeper tunnel sections. It suits divers who enjoy overhead structure, torch-assisted exploration, and clear route control more than easy open-water cruising. The appeal is the light-and-shadow effect, the cave geometry, and the amount of life tucked into the rock.
