Cenotes Snorkeling Tulum: Snorkeling full day
Do you know what is a Cenote Like?
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.

TURTLES OF AKUMAL
The green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), also known as the green turtle, is a large sea turtle of the family Cheloniidae. It is the only species in the genus Chelonia. Its range extends throughout tropical and subtropical seas around the world, with two distinct populations in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The common name comes from the usually green fat found beneath its carapace.
Unlike other members of its family, such as the hawksbill sea turtle, C. mydas is mostly herbivorous. The adults usually inhabit shallow lagoons, feeding mostly on various species of seagrasses. Akumal is a great place for them due its shallow calm rich in grass waters and it is possible to see them snorkeling.
Like other sea turtles, green sea turtles migrate long distances between feeding grounds and hatching beaches. Many islands worldwide are known as Turtle Island due to green sea turtles nesting on their beaches. Females crawl out on beaches, dig nests and lay eggs during the night. Later, hatchlings emerge and scramble into the water. Those that reach maturity may live to eighty years in the wild.
C. mydas is listed as endangered by the IUCN and CITES and is protected from exploitation in most countries. It is illegal to collect, harm or kill them. In addition, many countries have laws and ordinances to protect nesting areas. However, turtles are still in danger because of several human practices. In some countries, turtles and their eggs are hunted for food. Pollution indirectly harms turtles at both population and individual scales. Many turtles die caught in fishing nets. Also, real estate development often causes habitat loss by eliminating nesting beaches.
