By Underwater Caves Cabarete. El Choco national park is known for its underwater caves, some shallow and some really deep and only available to certified cave divers. This video shows Cueva La Escalera and Cueva de los Murcielagos, 2 connected caves which offer a unique cave diving experience.
There are several other caves available to swimmers in the park, those are shallow, one a cenote about 8-10 feet in depth, the closest one to the entrance. The Choco National park is reached via El Callejon de La Loma, across Ocean One Cabarete.
