Local Intel For Kelly's Caverns
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A good boat dive for open-water divers who want caverns, a mini wall, and good macro work without a deep technical profile.
Freediving
The site is a poor freedive target because the useful features sit on a boat-access reef profile rather than a shallow shore line.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the main use case; the caverns, mini wall, and rubble field are built for scuba.
