Dive-center reef guide with the Coquitos site description.
Coquitos
Shallow Tulum reef with coral heads and swim-throughs
Local operator required
Boat access from Tulum is the normal way to reach Coquitos.
About Coquitos
Coquitos is a shallow Tulum reef with bright coral structure, short swim-throughs, and a reef profile that stays rewarding without turning into a deep day. It is the kind of site that works for newer divers and still keeps experienced divers busy because the coral, channels, and fish life stay close together. On calmer days it feels easy and colorful; when the sea roughens, the same reef asks for more patience and cleaner planning.
