The conditions there are in part what saved this site from being either looted or somehow vandalized through time because it was just too difficult a place for cave divers to get access.
Abaco was 10 times as big as today, but as sea levels rose following the last Ice Age, water flooded the island, shrinking its shores.
What makes Sawmill Sink unique is how well it's preserved the island's natural history. The dark with narrow crevices and passages in the limestone make it difficult for intruders.
Diver Brian Kakuk descended into some of those passages and spotted a wealth of bones that opened a door to the island's ancient past, including tortoise shells and crocodile skulls.
