Why dive here
With 250+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Cuevitas offers some of Punta Cana's richest cave diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Cuevitas offers a unique cave diving experience in Punta Cana. Expect tighter passages and an overhead environment, making it best suited for divers with specific cave training or those looking to expand their skills in a controlled setting. The visibility inside can vary, but we've seen interesting rock formations and the occasional reef fish sheltering in the entrance. It's a different vibe from the typical reef dives here.
