About Punta Sur - Devil’s Throat
Punta Sur - Devil's Throat is Cozumel's signature advanced boat dive, a deep wall site with a narrow overhead passage and a larger coral chamber nearby. The route is all about precise buoyancy and steady gas management, because the throat drops through a tight opening into deeper water. Currents are often strong on the wall, so it suits experienced divers who are comfortable in deep, overhead conditions. The payoff is clear water, dramatic structure, and regular big-animal encounters on the Punta Sur reef.
