D&D 5E 5e tumbling through opponent squares?
I'd allow it as an action (or Rogue bonus cunning action) - opposed Acrobatics vs target Athletics. If succeed can use Move to move through opponent space.
Of course opponent still gets opportunity attack if you break contact, unless you also use a Disengage action, which is only going to be possible for a Rogue or action-surging Fighter.

OA require sight of target, right?
Yes. So invisible tumbler I'd give advantage on check, and no OAs of course.

I think [MENTION=27385]aco175[/MENTION] got it right! The DMG Tumble combat action option already allows this (except that it's Acrobatics vs Acrobatics), and it can be done as a Bonus Action, so if you take Disengage as your Action, you don't need to worry about the OA. There is no "timing" specified for Tumble, so a good tactic for tumbling past an opponent would be:
1- use part of your move to approach the opponent
2- use your bonus action to Tumble
...did you win the Acrobatics contest?
YES >
3- use your action to Disengage
4- use the rest of your move to get away on the other side
NO >
3- you can still use your action for something else...

No of course it's not mandatory... some gaming groups don't even have the DMG. Don't use it if you want this situation to still provoke OA (I'm not sure if your previous remark about provoking OA was meant as "fortunately" or "unfortunately").
Unfortunately for the tumbler!
