CENOTE DIVING

How can I start?

My very first experience of scuba diving was in an open-air cenote and from that day on, I couldn’t shake the idea of diving more and more. I was obsessed.

I am very proud that this part of Mexico is home to the stunning and uniquely beautiful cenotes. They were shaped over millions of years in the Yucatan Peninsula, as part of a huge system of underground rivers, flooded caves, and collapsed ground. That gives a touch to the breathtaking (literally) background that you will explore.

The visibility of the water in the cenotes is so clear that you’ll feel like you are flying. Without currents or other external conditions to worry about, you will experience a calm and slow dive, that will make you aware of your breathing and put you in a unique mindset. The curtains of light rays breaking from the surface give cenote diving a mystical and ethereal sensation, accentuated by the beautiful rock formations.

As most cenotes are hidden within the jungle, accessing them involves a fun truck ride and gearing up for a memorable walk into these unique sites.

Ask us for more information before you book your dive!

  • A valid scuba license and varying levels of experience are required to dive in the CAVERNS. However, there are two cenotes in the area where it is possible for non-certified divers to go for a Discover Scuba Dive, as they are non-cavernous open and shallow cenotes.
  • In order to dive into the caverns, an open water diver license or similar are required. You will also need to be accompanied by a certified cavern guide and always need to follow them. Some cenotes need advanced open-water certification or higher and certain experience due to depth and/or difficulty.
  • We believe that every cavern has its unique appeal, making it difficult to pick a favorite. Each cenote boasts distinct features – be it stunning rock formations, tranquil mangrove surroundings, mesmerizing displays of sun rays, or beautiful air domes. Understanding your diving experience and knowing your limits is important. If you’re unsure which cenote to choose or this is your first time diving them, contact us and let us curate a tailored experience for you!
  • All year round! The water temperature keeps constant throughout the year. However, some cenotes, which are known for their sunbeam features, are not as impressive at certain times of the year, so we recommend only diving them in the right seasons.
