Description
Our dive starts in the big open area and leads us then further into the mangroves. The first part of the dive is always in an open water area in between the roots of the mangroves. You will feel the fresh water , enjoy the mangroves and the rich life it has . At some point we will reach the entrance to the cavern area where the amazing sun beam lights show us the entrance to the cave that cross direct to the Ocean. Our limit is the cavern so this means we can not go into the cave only separated with the ocean by the beach and a tunnel of about 50 meters connects them. With an average depth of 20 ft or 6 meters, the dive time is around one hour.
You can choose to dive any other cenote to combine with this dive to do a two tanks dive day experience.

Adventure Tips
Verify Certification
Make sure you are a certified open water diver; cavern diving requires specific training and experience.
Use a Dive Light
Bring a reliable dive lamp to navigate darker cavern sections and enhance visibility around submerged roots.
Wear Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Protect your skin without harming cenote ecosystems by applying reef-safe sunscreen before diving or swimming.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after diving; the Yucatán can be hot and dehydrating even near water.
