Two guided cenote dives in Tulum for advanced divers: a deep descent into El Pit and cavern exploration at Dos Ojos. Expect haloclines, stalactite galleries, and guided routes kept within visual exits.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You surface beneath a slatted roof of jungle light and feel the air cool after a long fin kick — the cenote swallows sound and pushes only the hush of dripping limestone toward you. The first plunge drops into El Pit, where a sulfur veil hugs the basin around 25 meters and a sharp halocline bends light like a moving seam. Later, Dos Ojos opens into vaulted caverns threaded with stalactites, bat galleries and shafts of sunlight that slice through clear water.

Moderate to fit: you should be comfortable with repetitive heavy gear handling, buoyancy control, and multiple dives in a day.
Wildlife
History
Cenotes on the Yucatán were primary freshwater sources for the Maya and also served as ritual sites; many nearby caverns contain archaeological and paleontological deposits.
Conservation
Operators enforce no-touch rules and limited group sizes; avoid sunscreens and lotions before entering water and follow guide briefings to minimize impact.
Reserve your spot on the 2 cenote divings (including one deep diving) for advanced divers in Tulum today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Certification check
Bring proof of Advanced Open Water or equivalent—deep cavern diving requires documented certification before you can enter the water.
Redundant lights
Pack at least two dive lights; caverns have shadowed passages and guide lights can fail—redundancy keeps the plan on track.
Surface interval & flights
Avoid flying within 24 hours after diving; plan your return flight at least 24–48 hours post-dives to reduce decompression risk.
Respect formations
Do not touch stalactites or stalagmites; oils from skin damage fragile formations and slow natural growth.
Regulator & octo (if preferred)
You may use your own regulator set for familiarity and redundancy though basic equipment is provided.
Primary dive light + backup
Essential for cavern navigation and signaling in low-light passages.
5 mm wetsuit (provided) or personal suit
Keeps you warm in the cenote’s cool, fresh water; a hood helps on longer surface intervals.
Dive computer with depth/alarm
Tracks depth and no-decompression limits for deep cenote profiles.
