Cenotes usually offer perfect dive conditions such as crystal clear water , almost current free and
the best visibility you could ever imagine to appreciate the beauty that it has to offer.
The temperature of fresh water is
24°C /77°F all year long.
Passing through halocline (a halocline is the interface of fresh and salt water and when mixed produces
zero visibility), salt water is 26°C/80°F .
There are a few differences in the diving techniques, safety, signals and gas managment; that’s why we highly
recommend you to listen carefully to the guide’s briefing, even if you are a very experienced and highly certified diver.
There is also a difference between cave and cavern.
We offer both type of dives, according to your level and certifications.
1/Cavern diving
2/Cave diving
The general rules and limits for cenote cavern diving are :
- NO snorkel, gloves, or knives

To dive in water-filled caves, a diver must use specialized equipment and specialized training.
Improperly trained divers, including open water instructors, have a very poor safety record in caves.
If you are interested in cave diving, be sure to receive the proper training (Cave Diver) from a well-respected instructor.

This underground river system is running all over the
Yucatan peninsula, and just a little part of it has been explored until now,
so if you’re coming especially for cave diving, we can arrange a full week exploration or as many days you'd like.
