Cenote diving

Region: Yucatan Peninsula, Sistema Dos Ojos, The Pit Cenote diving is only for the ultimate adventure lovers. So, what is cenote diving? The underwater caves and caverns are the latest dive attraction in the Yucatan Peninsula (separates the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico).

- Dos Ojos also known as Sistema Dos Ojos is a flooded cave system located north of Tulum, on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The Dos Ojos cenotes are a popular snorkelling and cavern diving site visited by tourists from across the world. The majority of cavern dives are at 5.7 meters. Usually the guided cavern dives include two dives in one day, each being 45 minutes long followed by an hourfs interval. It is possible to traverse underwater into another adjacent cenote called the eBat Cavef, which is also used for snorkelling. Experience raw adventure, but only if youfre prepare.

- The Pit is known to be an amazing sinkhole inside the jungle, an upstream branch of the Sistema Dos Ojos. Most cenote divers perform a multilevel dive here. The ascend is made progressively by making circles around the gigantic cylinder around the shallower area, where tourists can see black lines showing the variation of the water level through the decades. If you have a great underwater camera, take a shot. This picture will truly be worth a million bucks!
