Just for reference, here is the descritpion of the dive as given in "Cozumel: Dive Guide & Log book" by Underwater Editions.
"Punta Sur is a vast, deep wall on the southern end of the island that should be explored in two dives. The most popular section is the one that will take you down the "Devil's Throat," a narrow tunnel lined with red sponges, which is located inside this area's largest coral mound. Descending in the middle part of the reef, you will find a wide, sloping sandy area at 60ft with an enourmos coral mound. Diving through a huge cave will eventually bring you into a smaller cavern at a depth of 80ft. There you will find many exits in all directions and a small hole right in front of you. This tiny opening is what you are looking for: Devil's Throat! Don't be afraid to enter because the swim only lasts a few seconds and you will come out facing the deep blue at 130ft...and only a few ft further you will encounter an outstanding cave. Due to a cross shaped sponge on the wall, this cave is called "little cathedral." Enjoy the pristine coral and sponges here prior to exiting the cave toward the shallow area..."
