Review Summary
Customers find this dive exceptional for both beginners with advanced certification and experienced divers, praising the knowledgeable and safety-conscious guides like Brian and Jess who make overhead dives and tunnel navigation comfortable. The standout feature is the Cathedral formations themselves—described as magical and unlike anything else underwater—with reviewers consistently highlighting the stunning lava caverns with light streaming through them as unforgettable. Common positives include the professional crew, small group sizes, comfortable boat experience, and the frequent sightings of dolphins and whales. The only minor concern mentioned is that the Cathedral isn't exactly a single cathedral structure but rather multiple caves to explore, though this doesn't diminish the overall experience for divers.
