Thunderball Grotto


Over the last 3 weeks the only snorkelling we (the girls) have done has been off the side of the paddle boards. We were now faced with 'Thunderball Grotto'.  A cathedral ceilinged cave made famous by it’s part in the 1965 bond movie 'Thunderball'. Only accessible by swimming through an underwater entrance(!!). Courage was mustered even after we were informed of a shark in the cave...holding hands we dove in...... Once through the small opening we found ourselves in a cavernous space with stalactites coming down from the ceiling. The rock had a marble effect layering up the side of the cave. The water was clear, calm and full of reef fish swimming around.  The water was lit up by a small opening in the roof creating a magical place. This was truly an underwater wonderland...



We were all so pleased that Abe convinced us to swim in... This was one for us not to miss!
