    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cuevitas, just off Playa Las Ballenas, offers a neat little dive if you’re in the Bayahibe area. It’s a series of easy-to-navigate small tunnels, more like swim-throughs really, where you can always see the exit from the moment you enter. We’ve found plenty of fan and brain corals here, and it's a good spot to keep an eye out for octopus tucked into crevices, or maybe a slipper lobster peeking out. With a maximum depth of 14 meters, it’s a relaxed dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a chilled-out second tank.
