Infinity Bay House Reef - Roatán
Manolo Cave offers a relaxed reef dive with a touch of cavern exploration, tucked away in Punta Cana. We've found the maximum depth here hovers around 14 meters, making it a good spot for divers looking for something a bit less demanding. The main draw is a series of swim-throughs and small ledges where you can often spot nurse sharks tucked away, sometimes even a green turtle gliding past. Visibility usually sits around 16 meters, which is decent enough to appreciate the coral patches and the typical Caribbean cast of snapper, angelfish, and parrotfish. It’s a solid pick for a second dive of the day, or for anyone wanting a casual drift along a healthy reef.
