A new challenge: Cave bases! (i.e. how many caves have room for a multi-purpose room?)

The new patch actually improved base building in a lot of ways - for instance, you can now build structures on the sides of cliffs if they are even just a little bit rugged. However, it added a new challenge too!
Before the patch building in a cave would create a larger cave - now it doesn't. So you have to really plan any underground bases.
Furthermore there are only a few places where caves are big enough to hold a multi-purpose room... for that sweet filtered water!
So the challenge is What locations are large enough for cave bases?
Feel free to share coordinates and pictures!

There is the Mountain Island caves, there are some wide, open caves with a lot of plants for Bioreactor power.
Possibly caves in the Koosh zone might be big enough, but I'm not exactly sure of that.
And if you want a real tight space, the caves inside the giant Mushroom tree could hold a single room.
Those are all the caves I can think of.
The northern Blood Kelp zone is riddled with deep caves that have plenty of room if you don't mind four legged banshees screeching all the time and creepy Biters bumping around.
There is one big cave in the Mountains, near the wreck, which has a thermal vent inside, iirc. Would work well for a base, too.
Mesmer Cave Base, lol. I've got a stack of like 8+ MP & ACUs in that cave on one of my saves, it's pretty cool.
I thought that too...having the Precurser-Moonpool as a kind of Cyclops Dock would be nice. I guess the Warpers and Reapers could be a little bit troubleing there but it would still be cool.
Do the Ion-Crystals respawn once you picked them up? If so you could "farm" them every now and then from a base like this.
A multipurpose room inside a large coral tube:
A small base inside the skull cave:
A base half-in one of the most dangerous cave systems (note: One could easily remove the upper part of the base if one is willing to go without the multipurpose room and to use a reinforced dive suit for protection).
Is this Mesmer cave?
Is this the mountain cave base?
Inside the precursor base... (now a possibility):
Lost River also allows some substantial canyon bases, some of which snake under arches of stone and have roofs of brine (kindof making them cave bases).
Some pretty cool bases there, quite inspiring
Anyway, a quick update: I've confirmed that a base can be built inside the largest of the floating islands (complete with a multipurpose room).
...damn it.
Exactly! A whole new challenge

DAY-UMN... What is that place?
I miss that so much
Apparently Julian Assange's lair.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld's rec room, I think. Before Bond trashed it.
