About this dive site
Lily pads, tannic water and cavern lines near Tulum.
Carwash (Aktun Ha) is named for its roadside history but divers come for lily pads, tannic layers and a friendly cavern profile south of Tulum. Light varies with season and algae; cavern certification applies beyond the open pool. A good contrast to clear ocean wall days on the same trip.
Carwash tannic layers shift with rain and algae; cavern rules apply beyond the open lily-pad pool.
