    La Cuevita, or "The Little Cave," is a straightforward cavern dive, perfect for newer divers looking to get comfortable overhead. At a maximum depth of 13 meters, it’s an easy entry and exit from shore. Inside, you'll find a wide opening that narrows slightly, with light always visible from the entrance. It’s a good spot to practice buoyancy and finning in an enclosed space without feeling truly confined.

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
