Cavern

Cenote Nohoch Nah Chich

Part of one of the longest underwater cave systems in the world. It is known for an astonishing concentration of stalactites and stalagmites, many of them huge, forming real stone “forests” underwater. Its crystal-clear water and intricate passages make it a must for experienced cavern divers looking for formations on another level.

Cavern

Cenote Dreamgate

A cavern cenote with a round entrance, known for its extraordinarily clear water and for the imposing columns and rock formations that reach down to the bottom. Natural light filtering through the opening above creates spectacular effects. Ideal for cavern diving, with routes through wide chambers and an almost ceremonial atmosphere.

Cavern

Cenote Tak Be Luum

Less known, and so less touched, this cenote lies in the Dos Ojos park area. It offers cavern passages with well-preserved formations, calm water and a more intimate dive, since it sees fewer visitors. Ideal if you want to explore cenotes off the busiest routes.

Deep

Cenote El Pit

One of the deepest and most dramatic cenotes on the Riviera Maya, going down to 119 metres. It is famous for the column of light that pierces the water, for its halocline — where fresh and salt water meet — and for a cloud of hydrogen sulphide at about 30 metres that looks like fog underwater. Recommended for advanced or technical divers, it is one of the most striking cenote dives in the world.
