Video 1 of a cave dive by Ryan Leith. This is not much help as far as the tunnel plan is concerned. It does show that the under water part is quite deep, narrow and well scoured.
Video 2 of a shore visit to Grind da Navir to look for rocks thrown up by a recent storm. Towards the end, he shows the Hols o Scraada gloup from its SE end and comments that the cave has a 'Y' plan.
