Yup
In the shallow portion that the discovery part covers it's 25+ Celsius.
There are hundreds of youtube videos from over there, it looks like a nice dive.
From what I read, one of the things, that makes this cave dive safer than usual is a slow current, that can carry away kicked up silt. Not sure how helpful this really is. I also found a map and more infos. The dive starts in a cavern and from there it goes into the cave. In this section the dive master checks everyone and decides if everyone is capable to proceed.
 
I see. So the other wings from halcyon with 40lb, which are in the doubles category are just a different shape? But they probably wouldn't be good for singles? Trying to figure out if I bought the wrong wing back then.
If you think of a wing, it is cut so that air will make pockets on the sides of the cylinders and wrap it correctly.

If you put a double wing on a single cylinder, it will be too large so the air pockets around the cylinder will be really high and be more unstable and create a bit of unnecessary drag, it will be harder for you to make the air migrate to the dump for example.

If you put a single wing on a double cylinder, it will not have enough room and be trapped too much under the double cylinders, so it won’t make nice pockets around the twin-set to make you more stable and you may not get the full lift.
