The most mesmerizing diving in the Riviera Maya is the
fantastic world of cenotes cavern and cave diving in the
mystical and sacred waters of the Mayan cenotes which
offer certified recreational divers the opportunity to
explore something very different.
A cenote is a natural sinkhole created where
a cave ceiling has collapsed. The Mayan
considered cenotes to be an entrance to their
"Xibalba" or "Underworld" where their gods live
and their spirits reside after death.
The oportunity to explore the world of underwater caves is
one available to only a few. The cave environment is a beautiful, exciting, and challenging environment which demands a great deal of those who choose to enter it!
