The Widowmaker's Cave got its name from the James Jones novel “Go to the Widowmaker”. The site is a cave that formed in a narrow cleft in the reef wall. The cave is shaped like a narrow tunnel with lots of crevices and cavities to be explored. The topography along the bottom is excellent, and there are always schools of fish around. This site is also good for underwater photography.
