A cenote is a natural sinkhole resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock, exposing groundwater underneath. Cenotes are filled with crystal-clear fresh water and are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and diving.

Some cenotes are beginner-friendly, especially those with open water areas and good visibility. However, certain cenotes require advanced diving skills or even cave diving certification. Always check the prerequisites of each dive package before you book.

For most cenote dives, an Open Water certification is sufficient. However, for overhead environments such as cave or cavern diving, an Advanced Open Water or Cavern/Cave Diver certification is recommended or required. Please have a look at the prerequisites of each package to see the necessary level for each site.

Cavern diving takes place in areas where there is always a visible exit and natural light. Cave diving goes further into enclosed areas, often in complete darkness, and requires specialised training and equipment.

Yes, cenote diving is safe when done with us. Our instructors are highly trained and familiar with the sites. As with any dive, following safety protocols and staying within your limits is essential.

Cenotes can be dived year-round. The water temperature remains fairly constant (around 24–26°C). However, dry season (November to April) typically offers better visibility and easier access due to less rain.
