Cenote diving

Cenote diving

The Yucatan peninsula's natural history is unique in the world.  Having spanned millions of years underwater as a coral reef, the Yucatan was later dried up as the ocean levels dropped.  Throughout this dry time, the limestone was carved out and dissolved into an elaborate system of underground caves and tunnels, covered in majestic stalactite and stalagmite rock formations.  Once past the ice age, the Cenotes naturally filled  with fresh water and developed into the "sacred wells" of the Maya civilization, providing the main source of drinking water and considered to have spiritual and healing properties. 

Diving these magical underwater caverns is unique and breathtaking.  With the thick green jungle surrounding you, let us guide you through the crystalline waters of the Cenotes.  No special certification is required, only a good understanding of buoyancy control and a few special rules, and a big smile!
