For our first of 3 dives on the day with a group organized by our Aussie English teaching friend Bradley Worland, this time booked thru OkiDiving.com & Captain Dave, we were privileged to check out the highlight of our day, the Manza Dream Hole, just NE of the Manza Resort in Onna-son. The weather was pretty good (cool but not overly & only a little bit overcast) & the seas were calm. We moored right near the entry to the "hole," really a natural underwater cave formation in the reef with a fairly narrow shaft extending down to a level cavern & large opening to open water. Shortly after our initial descent underwater, we took turns entering. The 2 of us waited until all but 1 of the other 10 divers had entered before following ourselves, Betsy just ahead of Josh. It was quite cool & very bubbly descending into the darkness of the cave. At the bottom, we found the diver-sized opening leading out to a nice large cave mouth where thousands of fish congregated among the bubble-filled water. We proceeded out of the cave mouth to the left (SW) at around 95 ft below the surface. We slowly worked our way along the vertical reef walls to shallower water. We ended the 45-minute dive hanging out around 15-20 ft for about 20 minutes (like the good no deco divers we are!).
