Swallow's cave is much bigger than Mariner's cave, so much so
that you can take the dinghy inside, which we and others did. The water is very
blue and as with Mariner's cave you visit in the afternoon when the sun is
shining through the entrance. When we explored both caves we had good weather
and the lighting was perfect. The first 4 pictures show the water colours.
     The entrance.
 The cavern inside was cathedral
like.
   The brown specks high up on the sides and roof are
the nests of swiftlets -
a smaller version of
a swallow.
  Another cave a short distance from Swallow's cave
had a large shoal of small fish inside.
  A huge brain coral at the entrance to the
cave.
