Shark Cave is 2 km north of Great Swinton Island, 75 km from Kawthaung, and is made up of 3 small islets, the centre islet being the largest at 100 metres wide. In sharp contrast to the bare rocks that identify this site at the surface, Shark Cave will surprise you with its abundance of marine life.   Another of the top Mergui Archipelago diving sites, Shark Cave is known for its resident docile nurse sharks. The ragged cave entrance is on the north west corner of the islet, and is 5-16 metres deep. Often found guarding the entance are several long-fin trevally and silver sweetlips. They come to hunt for the masses of juvenile barracudas, cave sweepers and silversides.

It is a small islet with a single tree, and has a wall on its north and east sides, and a rocky reef on its south and west.
