"Observations by the Posford Haskoning 2003 survey note a record of 'narrow inlet / cave' but does not give further details or specifically state that a cave exists.
In 2008 wave surge prevented close inspection by HWU surveyors.
The site was inspected by a snorkeler in 2016. Noted entrance of 2-3 m in width and water depth of ~0.5 m BCD. This extended for ~15 m at which point the passage narrowed to <1 m in width with a water depth of ~0 m BCD. The passage extended a further ~6 m before terminating." [Report 1080 p 129]
