Caverns & Cave Diving

There are unique underground limestone caves carved out by fresh water in the Mayan Riviera and the Yucatan Peninsula. Spectacular stalagmites and stalactites are formed by the mineral rich water filtered through the limestone over the eons. In the cenotes of Tulum, Playa del Carmen and the Mayan Riviera, diving conditions are ideal. In these unique cave systems, crystal clear freshwater, mild temperatures and excellent visibility are the key characteristics that will make your dive a special experience.

In the area you will find many options and kinds of cenotes for cavern diving – Ponderosa, Carwash, Aktun Ha, Calavera, Pit, Angelita, Chak Mool, Dos Ojos, Dream Gate, Tajmahal and Grand Cenote are the most famous in the area. They are full of spectacular rock formations, light beams, haloclines and air domes. Most of the cenotes in the region are shallow dives between 8m/25ft and 12m/40ft but there are also some deeper cenotes that are suited for advanced tech divers only.
