Thanks Cow

Also known as: Ushisan Arigato · 牛さんありがとう (Japanese)

According to BIGHOLIDAY, the name comes from a cow sculpture above Imgya Marine Garden that guides used as a landmark, and Marine Diving explains that the whole 'Ushi-san' series of cave sites was named after this cow monument. From the shallow reef divers follow a crack between rocks into a tunnel that opens into a spacious chamber with shafts of light. Soldierfish, bigeyes and sweepers gather in the hole, and small shrimps and gobies live inside. Damselfish school around the rocks outside.
