DIVE IN CENOTES
Diving in a Cenote is a must-do for any diver visiting the Riviera Maya. A Cenote is a natural pit resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater. The regional term is specifically associated with the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, where Cenotes were commonly used for water supplies by the ancient Maya, and occasionally for sacrificial offerings. Cenotes are connected to an underground river system stretching miles.
Your Cenote scuba diving tour includes two dives: it's your choice if you want the two dives to be at one Cenote or two different Cenotes. Because Cenotes are part of a large underground river system, it’s possible to complete 2 different, beautiful dives at one Cenote. Cenotes are privately owned and each Cenote park has an entrance fee that is paid directly to the owners. Entrance fees are listed below each Cenote.
See our tour packages below. We are happy to create bespoke tours for you, as well.

Questions
​
Where are the Cenotes?
Cenotes are across the Yucatan Peninsula. Typically, we dive in Cenotes along Route 307 between Playa del Carmen and just south and west of Tulum, or along the Ruta de Cenotes west of Puerto Morelos.
We divide Cenotes into three categories: North, South, and Far South. See the interactive map for all Cenote locations.
​
Do I need to be certified?
Yes! You must be certified to dive in Cenotes. The only exception is Casa Cenote, which is a great place for beginners or snorkelers!
