About this dive site
This dive site, known as Cuevas de los Corales, offers a unique exploration experience. Divers will begin their adventure at the surface and then follow a line connecting to a series of underwater caves. Participants receive a briefing from a qualified guide before entering the caves individually, guided by the guide's instructions. The dive typically lasts around 45 minutes and reaches a maximum depth of 30 meters. This location is teeming with marine life including lobos marinos, rays, reef sharks, pufferfish, barracuda, tuna, sea turtles, sea urchins, starfish in various forms, moray eels, crabs, octopuses, and more. After exploring the caves, divers will continue to explore the surrounding area before returning to the surface exit point, contingent on air supply.
