About The Caves - Acapulco
The Caves - Acapulco is a challenging Acapulco Bay dive with huge rock formations, swim-through passages, and a current-driven profile. It is the sort of site that rewards certified divers who are comfortable moving deliberately through tighter terrain rather than rushing the line. Plan it as a guided morning boat dive, because the passages, current, and changing visibility make timing and buoyancy more important than distance.

Scuba Diving
Certified divers should expect a guided passage dive where buoyancy and timing matter more than chasing depth.

Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel stop; the interesting sections sit too deep and the current can move fast.
