1 dive in cenote The Pit
The biggest-deepest underwater cavern in Tulum
The Pit is one of the deepest cenotes in the state of Quintana Roo, its a spectacular dive site in a huge chamber. Exceptional water clarity with a visibility of more than 100 meters. Features strong light beams that during the summer penetrate the cavern for more than 27 meters. At this depth, there is a thick hydrogen sulfide cloud. Additionally, small and large stalactites are visible.
Scuba diving in The Pit requires previous deep scuba diving and cavern scuba diving experience.
1 or 2 dives in cenote Dos ojos
The most famous cavern in Tulum
Dos Ojos (Two Eyes) refers to two neighboring cenotes that are connected by a large cavern that also connects to a subterranean river. Dos Ojos was filmed for IMAX in 2002 and for BBC/Discovery in 2006.
Dos Ojos is an excellent place to do the first cenote dive due its wide spaces, crystal clear waters and heavy sediment, which is not as easily disturbed. This cenote dive site consists of two independent circuits: The first dive starts at the Barbie Line, a 415 meters line with wide spaces and large light galleries. We always start the dive with this line because it is very close to the surface and is a great way to become acquainted with the feeling of the fresh water, in which buoyancy changes are faster and more delicate. The duration of this dive is 45 minutes and the maximum depth is 6 meters. The second dive circuit is called the Bat Cave, a very different experience. The Bat Cave is an adjacent cenote, next to Dos Ojos, and represents a much more preserved environment, mainly due the fact that the roof of the cenote hasn’t collapsed yet and all of the formations around it are in very good shape. The dive circuit has a length of about 300 meters with a maximum depth of 10 meters. It is darker and takes about 35 minutes.
