Sightings are seasonal probabilities, not promises - even in peak season nature does its own thing.

Certification & difficulty

Snorkelling

Snorkel-friendly - Yes, the surface pool/spring area is snorkel- and swim-friendly; entering the cavern shaft itself restricted to certified cavern/cave divers

Safety notes

Overhead/cave environment; silt-out risk from fin contact with fine sediment; entanglement on permanent line; disorientation risk for divers who exceed cavern limits without cave certification - historically the entry most associated with recreational-diver cave fatalities in the US when limits are exceeded without training
