Snorkelling in the Limestone Caves

Of course we didn't JUST lie in a hammock sipping cocktails, we did also partake in the odd activity or two, such as snorkeling, see kayaking, climbing mountains etc. Below you can see a pic taken inside a truly spectacular limestone cave which the locals say "you haven't experienced the real Fiji until you have visited these caves..." The water inside the caves was over 10metres deep and just around the corner from where this photo was taken you could access another part of the caves by swimming underwater for a few seconds and then come up for breath the other side, to what i was 'expecting' to be the same as where i had just left but oh no, they forgot to mention it was pitch black the other side...!!! (classic Fiji style) So you wouldn't be surprised to hear that there were a few girls having panic attacks the other side. I think i was just gripping too hard on to the edge of the cave (and the person next to me, who i couldn't actually see!) to have the energy to panic. After the initial shock it was pretty amazing, and like nothing I've ever experienced before.... (surprise surprise!)
