Riko Riko cave
★★★★☆
(103)
The largest sea cave in the southern hemisphere, the size of Rikoriko Cave is impressive. This is a great dive site for many experience levels, and a good spot for a night dive too
Mado, Lord Howe Coral Fish, and large schools of Blue Maomao gather at the back of the cave. At night, nocturnal Nudibranchs are often seen.
