Explore a mystical cave with a large pool of fresh water you can scuba dive in!
Grotte de la Troisième is a cave located near the Kéré tribe on Route de l’Aérodrome. The cave is quite difficult to access: you have to drive down a long, narrow track through the forest to reach it. Once you get there, you’ll find parking for no more than 2 or 3 cars. Then you have to cross very rugged terrain to reach the cave on foot—make sure you're wearing closed shoes. You can scour the site for “bulimes”, the island’s famous native snails that like to hide in fallen leaves.

Inside the cave is a large freshwater pool surrounded by stalactites and stalagmites.

Entry is free but you can make a gold coin donation at the entrance.

You can also go scuba diving in this unusual environment by contacting the Isle of Pines diving club: Kunie Scuba Center.

Diving in la Troisième cave is difficult in wet weather.
It is reserved for experienced divers with good physical capacity ( Minimum N2 with more than 50 dives under their belt).

The price for divinr is 12 500 XPF
