We went on a great boat trip today, we stopped and snorkeled at two different islands and entered the emerald cave! The Emerald Cave is a secret lagoon hidden inside the island of Ko Mook. The only way in to this amazing location is to swim 85m through an underwater tunnel that opens out into the secret bay with limestone cliffs soaring high above you on all sides.
The underwater tunnel turns through about 90 degrees, so you descend into total darkness for a few seconds. Once you complete the turn, you can start to make out the emerald-green light coming from deep within the island. As you exit the tunnel and enter the lagoon, the water glows a deep emerald green and it’s rather like being inside a big, green volcano. There’s a large sandy beach to relax on, that’s open to the sky inside the cave.
This photo is from one of the snorkel stops, we saw lot of pretty fish and I shared a bit of a moment with three puffer fish :)
Your photo is amazing...such a gorgeous site, a how I'd love to snorkel there myself as it's a wonderful way to pass a morning! Your description is exceptional! It sounds like something out of a novel!
