Some current along the first wall. It eased off at the second wall. The currents can be strong enough to sweep you away at times. Saw a nice sized Banded Sea Snake on the first wall. We did not go deep enough to look in the cave. The cave is at about 40 meters down the wall. I have seen it on previous dives and it is a pretty big cave. Sometimes there are reef sharks in the cave. I have also seen a very big Potato Grouper down near the bottom of the first wall. Lots of fish and coral on the walls. On top of the two walls in the area known as the "Aquarium", the coral diversity is pretty amazing. It is an awesome dive site. Every other dive site that I have ever been to pales in comparison to Napantao.
