About this activity
The cenotes offer an unparalleled setting to facilitate the peace and relaxation we need to approach the underwater world. The translucence of the water and the calm surface conditions will help you enjoy the wonders this cenote has to offer. Though the prospect of breath-holding may sound daunting, there is nothing like the freedom of being at ease underwater. Of course, we always approach these tranquil and fragile environments with the utmost respect, but we lead with curiosity instead of fear. We will teach you to approach your dives with an open, child-like mindset to ensure intuitive learning without overthinking. No previous diving or freediving experience is necessary to participate in this activity.
What you will do
This tour will allow you to explore parts of the cenote that are off limits for walk-in visitors. You will arrive at the cenote after a 15-minute drive from the pick-up point in Tulum downtown. Before you go in the water, an experienced instructor will brief you on the basic techniques, equalization, breathing for freediving and equipment donning. Once in the water (maximum depth 7 meters / 23 feet) you will start familiarizing yourself with the area and the gear as you perform basic drills. Then, you will slowly progress into the cenote and start applying your skills to more challenging dives and swim-trhus under the magnificent, clear-water mangroves, always under the guidance and supervision of your instructor. Total time in the water can vary by group size between 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
