Chandelier cave, Palau
The entrance to the current superb underwater world is at a depth of concerning 4.5 meters, additionally, the} diver straight off plunges into a parallel reality. Stalactites cowl the walls not solely on top of the water, but also below its surface too, and {each} candlestick is not like any other.
Having dived into the primary chamber, you'll swim to the previous one while not haste, rising above the water and viewing these wonders of nature from all sides. Even the passageways between the chambers are filled with fantastic figures!
In each chamber between the surface of the water and also the cylinders hanging from above, there's an air area starting from [*fr1] a meter to many meters. betting on high and low tide, the peak of the air chamber can be amendment by concerning 1-2 meters. whereas visiting this place within the morning and returning in the afternoon, you'll merely not acknowledge it! Some air chambers are quite little in size, thus you'll barely stick your head out of the water and appearance around, while others can correspond a moderate room. Among the guides, this sort of recreation is popular: swim up to the stalactite and lick along with your tongue a drop of H2O that has seeped through the thickness of the earth.
a particular feature of this place is that the simple access: the cave is found 5-10 minutes by boat from the diving centers located on the island of Malakal close to the tourer capital of the country, the town of Koror.
it's higher to enter the cave once there aren't any teams of divers: then you'll relish exploring the superb natural formations alone.
within the fourth, the last, and smallest chamber of the cave, there's a tiny low invisible hole within the wall, situated a couple of meters on top of the water. this is often a little-known passage to the fifth chamber, overland. to go to this hall, you'll initial undress in the water, commence the cylinders, fins, masks, take a flashlight, climb the wall, so crawl through this slender hole many meters through the mud. And once that, another cave will open at the exit, however, this one will not water.
The air here is stale and it's rather tough to breathe, but still, it is possible. And as compensation for all the suffering, you'll see a tiny low stunning chamber with stalactites and stalagmites. The impression of the image of the discoverer will solely be spoiled by the "Vasya was here" inscriptions written in several languages.
the method of removing instrumentation and locomotion on a slender hole is time-consuming, particularly considering that subsequently all this should be exhausted in the reverse order, and there's not abundant space. Therefore, the fifth hall will only be accessed by a small group, thus it's higher to require a personal guide. thanks to the quality of the instrumentation delivery and also the restricted time, we have a tendency to didn't take photos within the fifth hall.
And seen from above, the island sounds like an exquisite inexperienced oasis in the middle of the endless ocean, and there's no sign of what reasonably treasure is underneath its surface.
