About Cuevitas
Cuevitas ('Little Caves') is a popular Tulum reef dive with small arches, bright coral, and a short boat ride from the Casa Cenote area. The route is compact and easy to read, but the arches mean buoyancy and spacing matter more than speed. Current can stay mild on good days and build on others, so a guided reef run is the cleanest plan. Reef fish, barracudas, turtles, and other small life make the site rewarding when you slow down.
