SCUBA DIVING & SNORKELING

Here you will find various caves, caverns and cenotes that are ideal for scuba diving and snorkeling. You’ll come across spectacular rock formations as you experience the excitement of exploring narrow underground passageways. Cave diving enthusiasts, specifically those using wetsuits and air tanks, will find it particularly exhilarating as they submerge 10 meters (33 feet) or more below the water’s surface and discover the Yucatan’s subterranean mysteries. 

Cenotes are fresh water pools connecting to submerged caverns and other cenotes. The standard formation is a round hole  in the ground.

Often referred to as lagoons and ponds they are common all over the peninsula being most common in the Mayan Riviera. Of value to the early inhabitants these ponds were a source of fresh water and their connection to the source was of a mystical nature. If you fly over the peninsula you will observe that where ever you see a cenote you will see the outline of ancient villages long gone.

There are a number of reasons that make cenote diving attractive to the diver.

Diving conditions are not effected by weather.
Moderate water temperature [77f].

Large caverns and passageways.
