Now this can finally be updated (the favorite cave, not the name)

Had the opportunity to complete cavern through apprentice with Rob Neto earlier this month. Thanks again for the great training Rob!

Now for the favorite cave question, that´s a difficult one. We did get to dive all the back-mountable caves at the Mill Pond, which were all fantastic, each in it´s own way. After that we spent a week just diving at Peacock Springs, which was magnificent as well, of course.
So having said that, my favorite cave for now would definitely be "Hole in the Wall"
