Lava tubes

[bernieflyer]

I was reading about this....Anyone ever dive lava tubes. I've also heard of very few places in the world for this: Hawai and Iceland maybe the canary islands. Where would this be possible and interesting...???

I dove the Big Island about 4 years ago and found a nice lava tube while shore diving. It was just like a cavern except there were a couple holes in the ceiling. Interesting to be in a long tube like cavern in the ocean with salt water fish swimming around. IIRC, the tube was about 100 feet long. Worth doing if you are in the neighborhood, but, at least from my limited experience, not worth a trip just to dive a lava tube. I'm sure others will have different opinions.
