Jim and I explored the Queen's bath by Kiholo Bay a couple weekends ago. It's a lava tube that's filled with fresh water by an underground spring. It goes back about 100 feet and it's really fun to snorkel through. It's pitch black in there- luckily we had Jim's dive lights. I have heard stories of people drowning in the cave when the tide comes up. However, I am not totally convinced that the tide has any effect on the water level, though I bet rainfall does. There were spots where the water was less than a foot from the roof of the cave, it'd make me nervous to be in there it was any higher.
Swimming into the cave:
A "skylight" offers some light in part of the cave, most of it is pitch black.
