You push off from a narrow reef channel and the ocean smells of salt and warm stone. The canoe hums under your hands as your guide threads a line of small islets; a low mouth in the cliff appears—Pumpkin Hall—its rounded stalactites shaped like oversized gourds. You enter by canoe, squeeze through a damp aperture, then move on hands and knees into a chamber lit by headlamps and sunlight that filters through fissures.
