The sun is low and the speedboat cuts a white path across aquamarine water as you leave Saladan Pier behind. Sea spray tastes of salt and lime; the crew's call rises above the engine as limestone cliffs slip into the distance. Within thirty minutes Koh Mook's dark throat appears — an 80‑meter tunnel where you switch on headlamps, float shoulder to shoulder, and let the cave breathe you into a hidden lagoon ringed by jungle.
