About Sunset Lava Tubes

This is a shallow dive. Swimming around a seamount which is only 5m below the surface, you find the entrance to a tunnel system in only 7m of water depth.The tunnels have different openings to the top, so there is plenty of light and no need for a torch. Swimming through the tunnels takes about 5mins, the rest of the dive you spent exploring the coral reef around the mount.
