After the boat left us we dive into the deepnes of the Coral Reef to find all kinds of lifeforms that habitate in the Reef. On the coral reefs (in contrast with familiar terrestrial ecosystems) plants aren’t the only group of organisms to play a major role in the production (wich means the creation of “new” biomass). Within coral reef ecosystems two other (both very different) types of life forms also play a critical role providing all the food that supports the rest of the ecosystem thar grows around the reef.
The two groups of life forms taking care of the biomass production are: A)The Cyanobacteria, and the B) The Marine “algae” – a diverse assortment of living things within the Kingdom Protista. The Coral reef “autotrophs” (those organisms that can synthesize new “food” from simple, non-living precursors) are therefore represented by 3 groups: Marine Plants, Marine Algae, Cyanobacteria.

This devastating event caused a radical change on the planet by eliminating 50% of all the existing species an giving way to the current existence of a ring of cenotes in the yucatan peninsula near Tulum. The name of this meteorite, is Chicxulub. Visiting a Cenote is getting closer to Chicxulub’s consecuences and where all new lifeforms where initiated.
Cenotes were considered sacred for the anciennt Mayas. Today it is possible to dive and snorkel in the Cenotes near tulum, a wonderful experience for all the family and the seekers of adventure in nature.

All of Agua clara tours try to show a glympse of the complex ecosystem of underwater rivers following their path to the caribbean sea. As you might know many of the cenotes of the yucatan peninsula are formed due the erosion cuased by the erosion of the riversf flow, resulting in a colapse of the celings and upper structures.
So basically, a cenote is an opening to an udergroud river.
Also known for some people as Cenote Manatí, “Casa cenote”. is very special cenote because it represents the mouth of an undegroud river, right before it hits the cave connection to the carribean sea of Mexico. It is completely surrounded by mangrove, the water is brakish and is full of barracudas, tarpoons, blue crabs, small snappers that come to feed and get bigger, etc. Casa cenote cantains a high variety of birds, fish,crabs and more.
Casa cenote is an excellent site for snorkeling and beginner divers.It has very clear water, large open spaces to do the PADI Open water course exercises. The maximum depth of this natural wonder is 6 meters, making it an excellent dive and snorkeling site even for experienced divers.
In this cenote, you will get the opportunities to see a very strange type of algae that look like green hair. This algae grows on the top of the rocks and it depends on the uniqueness of the salt and the fresh water as well as the mangrove around the denote.
