Justin, are you wanting to know about underwater cave systems or dry cave systems? There are massive ones of both types..

Located on the east coast of the Yucatán peninsula, the state of Quintana Roo is world renowned for it’s beautiful white sand beaches and Mayan temples. Over the last twenty years, dedicated cave diving explorers have discovered more than forty submerged cave systems beneath the jungles of Quintana Roo. In total, over 200 miles of submerged passageway have been surveyed and mapped. The three largest underwater cave systems in the world: Sistema Ox Bel Ha, Sistema Nohoch Nah Chich, and Sistema Dos Ojos, all exist within twenty miles of each other. Combined, they account for 55% of explored passageway. Two of them, Ox Bel Ha, and Nohoch Nah Chich, flow directly into the Caribbean Sea. This is only a fraction of what exists below the surface. Today’s diving technology, combined with improved logistical support, now means that exploration can proceed at a rapid rate.

Belize alone has almost 70 dry caves and 5 river systems with underwater caves

The cave systems of Llangattock Mountain around the Papua jungles is another.


All depends on what kind you are looking for. Julie :)
