This site gets its name from the caves along the reefs. They are found in 9-12 m. of water and do not go far into the reef walls so they are very safe to explore. The caves are havens for small fish and invertebrates, like the nudibranchs and tiny baitfish that live amongst the corals and tube sponges.
