Dive Spot Guide•
Cueva de la Virgen
Cueva de la Virgen is a guided cave dive with halocline
Boat-planned cave and cavern diving, natural light, and a halocline make Cueva de la Virgen a guided overhead-environment dive rather than a simple reef hop.
About Cueva de la Virgen
Cueva de la Virgen is a guided cave-and-cavern dive built around a rock chamber with natural light, a freshwater spring, and a visible halocline. The route starts at the cave entrance and then moves into a broader wall-and-sand section outside the cave. It is a more atmospheric than athletic dive: the chamber, stalactites, and changing light do the work, while the outer wall adds the marine-life portion of the run.
