What is cenote Diving?
The cenotes of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula are iconic - crystal clear water, light beams shooting down, forests of stalagtites and stalagmites. The cavern zone is the part of the cenote where daylight is still visible. For divers without overhead training, there are strict rules that we follow to allow more divers to see these incredible sites. Cenote dives are conducted in the cavern zone where we have daylight and don’t venture 60 meters from the entrance, and always dive through areas wide enough for two divers to swim side by side. We always follow a continuous guideline that leads back to the open water. Guides must be at least a Divermaster and Full Cave Diver (as a Full Cave Instructor I am well qualified). While guides can take up to 4 divers I limit my groups to 3 divers for a safer, more fun experience.
Certification: Minimum Open Water Diver
How does a day look?
During a day of Cenote dives we will do two dives, depending on what you want to see this could be at one cenote (with 2 distinct cavern lines) or two different cenotes. We always start with a safety briefing, and an explanation about the cenotes, the rules we will follow and how the dives will be conducted. Between dives we will have lunch - tacos or some other tasty local food - and then do a second dive.
What is included
Cavern diving includes two dives, tanks with 32% nitrox, weights, lights, and lunch. Nitrox training can be completed over the day if you are not already certified.
