Unique experience but BEWARE of biting turtles
Salaam Cave Aquarium的点评
点评：Salaam Cave is a very cool experience in the southern part of the island and was much closer for us than many other activities, which was a big plus. The setting itself is unique and memorable.
That said, visitors should be aware that turtle bites can happen. Two out of the three of us were bitten during our visit, and neither incident was provoked. We were standing calmly in the water feeding the turtles when one bit my sister on her back and another bit me on the back of my thigh, breaking the skin. There was no safety briefing or warning beforehand that this could occur.
After the bites, both of us exited the water—my sister was understandably very shaken, while I was less upset but still concerned. Despite there being staff present, no one approached us until we asked about it. We were told that there are no disease concerns and that antiseptic can be applied at the top of the cave if someone is bitten.
We later researched this ourselves and were reassured that the risk is low, especially if you are up to date on your tetanus shot (which we were prior to traveling to Africa). When we asked our hotel about it afterward, they mentioned that this did not used to be common but seems to be happening more frequently.
Overall, the cave is interesting and beautiful, but clearer safety guidance and a briefing about turtle behavior would be helpful so visitors can make informed decisions before entering the water.

翻译：萨拉姆洞穴位于岛屿南部，是一处非常棒的体验，而且比其他许多活动都更方便我们前往，这真是个很大的优势。洞穴本身的景色独特而令人难忘。
不过，游客应该注意可能会被海龟咬伤。我们三人中有两人在游览期间被咬伤，而且两次咬伤都不是主动挑衅造成的。当时我们正平静地站在水中喂海龟，一只海龟咬了我妹妹的背，另一只咬了我的大腿后侧，咬破了皮。事先没有任何安全须知或警告告知可能会发生这种情况。
被咬后，我们俩都离开了水面——我妹妹显然受到了惊吓，而我虽然没那么害怕，但也仍然很担心。尽管有工作人员在场，但直到我们主动询问，才有人过来询问。工作人员告诉我们，这里没有疾病传播的风险，如果有人被咬伤，可以在洞穴顶部进行消毒。
我们后来自行查阅了相关资料，得知风险很低，尤其是在接种了破伤风疫苗的情况下（我们在去非洲之前就接种了）。事后我们向酒店咨询，他们提到这种情况以前并不常见，但现在似乎越来越频繁了。
总的来说，这个洞穴既有趣又美丽，但如果能提供更清晰的安全指南和关于海龟习性的讲解，游客在下水前就能做出明智的决定，那就更好了。
