POS Cave · Pemuteran — Pink My Dive

The story

The bigger caves.

Where Underwater Cave is a row of small grottoes, POS Cave is a few large ones. The wall opens into chambers wide enough to host 3–4 divers comfortably, with skylights cutting beams of sunlight to the sand floor.

The signature shot here is a diver silhouette under one of the natural skylights — the reef above, the cave roof framing the sun, the diver suspended in blue.

"The light through the skylights is what divers come for."

Calm, sheltered, naturally lit. Ideal mid-day dive when the sun is high enough to punch through the cave roofs.

Topography

How the dive unfolds.

Continuation of the Pos 2 wall — same wall but with deeper, larger cave systems. Enter caves through the wall face, exit via natural skylights or back the way you came.

Plan a typical 55 min dive: visit 3–4 caves, photograph the skylight shots, slow ascent. Mid-day timing matters — sun must be high to cut through the cave roofs.
