About this activity
Why diving in cenotes is one of the best experiences?
Cenotes are only found in this part of the world, and this is due to the fact that the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago impacted the Yucatan Peninsula, giving rise to the formation of underground rivers with totally crystal clear water. In addition, the magical world of cenotes offers us to observe incredible ancient formations, such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and various speleothems that will make you feel like you are on another planet! Fossilized corals and animals give this experience a unique archaeological setting. The ultraviolet rays of the sun penetrate the entrances of the cave, forming amazing light effects on the water! As if all this were not enough, the Mayans gave this experience a highly mystical and magical context.

What you will do
One day before the experience we will finalize details, we will ask you for your equipment sizes, we will coordinate the meeting place and time (8 - 9 am). On the day of the dive, we will meet at the school and our vehicle will be ready with all the equipment to go to the cenote. During the trip, our guide will tell you all the history and mystique behind the cenotes! Diving in cenotes is different. The guide will give you tips and recommendations so that you can fully enjoy your immersion in the Mayan underworld! Once in the cenote, we will take a walk through the facilities and entry points to the cenote, here you will have free time to take photos and even swim in the cenote if you want! After the briefing we will be ready for our first dive! Once the first dive is over, we will have time for lunch and rest for a while before our second dive. Remember that in our vehicle there will be all the time available: refreshments, snacks, fruits and sandwiches! You can drink or eat whenever you want!
