National Speleological Society Fellow and NSS News Editor Dave Bunnell took this photo of the inner chamber of Painted Cave, a sea cave on Santa Cruz Island, California. Dave writes, "This is one of the largest sea caves known. With its dark walls and deep water, this chamber is one of the darkest places I've ever visited and took many attempts over the years to light up." See more of Dave's photos at Under Earth Images
