Cathedral Cave, Waterfall Bay (Eaglehawk Neck)
Cathedral Cave in Waterfall Bay on the north-east tip of the Tasman Peninsula has a main passage about 21 m deep entered through a large archway, with walls covered in brightly coloured invertebrates usually found much deeper. Beyond the entrance the cave system is extensive and dark, so a guide or cave-diving qualification is required; Eaglehawk Dive Centre gives boat access. Position is approximate (offshore of Waterfall Bay lookout) and unverified.
