Emerald Cave on the Black Canyon section of the Colorado River below Hoover Dam.
This is a three photo blend of handheld shots taken from my kayak with the assistance of my wife anchoring us to the cave wall. Thanks to my son-in-law for taking me through the myriad steps of the blending process which I otherwise would have been unable to accomplish.
you can actually see the tiny bit of "emerald" water the cave is known for in its name. We went at very low tide.
Tham Morakot on the island of koh muk is visited by swimming or by small inflatable boats. Starting from a ship, the swimmer has to enter the cave until he reaches a water filled chamber, which is lit by sunlight through a hole in the ceiling. The entrance passage is rather small and low, and it is passable only during low tide. It is PITCH BLACK for about 20 seconds. If visitors miss the exit time inside, they have to wait for the next low tide to get out again.
The name of the cave means Emerald Cave. It describes the emerald colour produced by sunlight filtered through sea water. Inside the cave is a secluded beach of white sand.
The Cave was once a place Pirates stashed their treasures and is home to some the more rare plants in all south east asia.

We hired this man and his assistant to take us from koh ngai to koh muk (about 25-40 min ride) in his long tail boat and hold a light and swim with us into the pitch black cave. He also carried all my camera equipment in a floating container for us. Our 3 hour expedition ran us $40 total for a private tour and boat ride.

It was Pitch Black in here. Thankfully we made sure our guide had a light to lead us through in the water. Julia and I tried on our own several days earlier sans light in a kayak and once we lost all light, lost all our faith too. It was high tide as well, with our heads who knows how close to the roof.
This photo was aided by my trusty flash obviously in standing water at low tide.
Inside an amazing place reached by swimming through a pitch-dark cave, all holding on to one another in a chain and getting life-jacket wedgies
I took this photo with my Canon A2E and a 17mm lens while sitting in my kayak and the back of the cave.
The entrance to 'Morakot Cave' is in the centre of the photo. After swimming through 80m of darkness you emerge to find secluded emerald-coloured water and a perfect white sand beach....
