This small cave is in the El Choco national park, it is part of the Cabarete cave tour and is very close to the Calleron de la Loma, about a kilometer before entering Cabarete. The access is a small unassuming hole in the ground that is easily missed, they have installed makeshift steps and as you go down you enter a very decorated dry cave, there is a path between the decorations that leads to the entrance sump. There is also a second sump, recognizable by the fact that you need to duck under a very low ceiling although it looks really cool, this sec on sump unfortunately Does not go anywhere. the cave is not very big and you cam see the whole thing in about 20 mins, but it is a really nice little dive. At the end of the main tunnel there are really weird looking decorations, very prehistoric looking, the water has a green tint and makes for a nice color contrast with the red silt. the cave is made up of a series of boulder collapses and has a max depth of 15 meters. The cave can be seen using either a single tank with a H valve or two al40's.
