Punta Sur & Devil's Throat

Cozumel's most talked-about dive. Punta Sur is a deep, dramatic site at the island's southern tip, and the Devil's Throat is its famous cavern swim-through — a tunnel that descends through the coral and exits deep on the wall. Experienced divers only.

Diving Punta Sur & the Devil's Throat

Coral towers and chimneys pierced by tunnels and caverns. The signature feature is the Devil's Throat — a narrow chimney that drops through the coral and opens deep on the wall, reaching roughly 28–40 m across the swim-through.

It is an overhead environment with no direct ascent, at depths where gas planning and steady buoyancy matter. We dive it only with experienced advanced divers.

If it is not the right fit on the day — for your experience or the conditions — we will say so and pick another site.

Experience required. Devil's Throat is for advanced, experienced divers with good buoyancy and air consumption. We'll review your logbook and recent diving before booking this site.
