CENOTE/CAVERN DIVING

Full with light effects plus a huge caver area, “El Edén” reaches one of the most dense haloclines in the area. This is also a great one for a first cenote experience You’ll cross from cenote ponderosa to cenote Corral.

Having a big open area is also a good one to practice snorkeling in case you have a buddy that is not diving.

Distance from Playa: 25 min

Combines perfect with Cenote Taj Maha

Four cenotes connected in a single dive makes one of the most variable cenotes, reaching the halocline, and passing by different areas that are very different one to the other, is the perfect place to fall in love with cenote’s magic. Is not the easiest dive in terms of buoyancy since you are changing depths most of the dive but for sure a very special one if your buoyancy control is good

Distance from Playa .30 min

Max depth 15mts

Combines perfect with Ponderosa

Depth of 35mt, three layers of water with different densities, fresh water on top, one with salt water and a cloud of hydrogen sulfide at the bottom with a tree that fell down from the jungle and it's stuck there, giving you a view similar to a foggy forest at night . Huge cavern area makes this an easy dive, good for a first experience in cenotes since there are not tight spaces, with lots of stalactites hanging on the ceiling.

Impressive visibility and cavern size.

Max depth 35 mts

Distance from Playa: 40min.

Combines perfect with Dos ojos

Level: easy

Has two different dives that can be done there ( Bat cave & Barbie Line) one with lots of laser lights + tunnels that give you the feeling of cave diving since there is little natural light in some areas and the Bat Cave with thousands of stalactites. Probably the most famous and for a good reason, it's simply spectacular!

When doing the Pit / Dos ojos combo you choose as your second dive which one of the lines to dive .

Max depth: 10 mt

Distance from Playa 40 min

Level: easy

One of the most decorated with speleothems, this one has advanced dives because good buoyancy control is essential on this cenote. Fragil thousands, maybe millions of stalactites cover the ceiling of the cavern. It has two lines but it is easy to cover both on a single tank if you have good air consumption.

Max depth is 7mt.

Level: advanced

Distance from Playa 50 min

Combines perfect with Casa cenote

Open cenote with cavern area under mangroves, provides an unique environment as it is connected to the ocean by a cave, it is not rare to encounter marine life in it as well as diving ducks, schools of tarpon, and a crocodile (Pancho) that likes to hang out by. It has tons of light effects as well as an halocline at shallow waters because of its proximity with the sea.

Max depth 8mt

Distance from playa 50 min

Level: easy

Combines perfect with Dreamgate

Maybe one of the most famous as well, is a cenote with one of the most dense sulfide acid clouds at the bottom, making this a spooky dive in a good way, dramatic free fall from a surface with not that clear water, down to the cloud where the visibility improves considerably and branches from the fallen trees emerge from the cloud making the whole place incredible.

Max depth 40 mt

Distance from Playa 60 min

Level: advanced

Combines perfect with carwash or Casa cenote

This cavern is an amazing open and close cenote at the same time having a big open area full with underwater lilies that cover most of the bottom of the open area, and the cover part has great speleothems. You will never imagine that this place was used to wash taxis before divers discover it. Great light effects, not rare to find a small crocodile swimming around.

Max depth 14mt

Level: easy

Distance from Playa 60 min

Unique speleothems hanging on the walls of these cheminee shaped cenote and a dense cloud on the deep, make this cenote an especially challenging and mesmerising dive site. The “ Bells” were a big mystery for a long time, now we know that these rare formations are a product of a bacteria feeding on the sulfide acid cloud, taking millions of years to become what they are now. Diving here will make you want to repeat it.

Max depth 50 + mts ( while cavern diving we dont pass 40mts)

Level: advanced +

Distance from Playa: 50min

Combines perfect with Cenote Maravilla

As the translation from spanish: Marvelous cenote

It honors its name, a gigantic dome with a small entrance for divers and a laser beam that with good timing will reach down to the cloud making a surreal dive. Also having a super dense cloud (maybe the most dense) and crystal clear water on top of it, will give you an astronaut feeling it may be one of the latest cenotes open for public, gaining fast popularity
