Cenote Car Wash & Chac Mool – Full-Day 3-Tank Cavern Diver Adventure
Dive into Two Stunning Cenotes on One Epic Day
This exclusive trip visits two of the Riviera Maya’s most photogenic and evocative cenotes:
- Cenote Car Wash: Known for its towering trees and lush light shafts, this open-air cavern offers vivid green hues and excellent visibility — perfect for wide-angle photos and relaxed navigation. The cenote got its name over 30 years ago, when locals used to wash their cars in the shallow waters near the entrance. That casual use gave rise to the nickname “Car Wash,” which has stuck ever since.
- Cenote Chac Mool: This semi-open cenote plunges into dramatic depth, featuring jaw-dropping stalactites, submerged platforms, and mystical light-beams—ideal for experiencing otherworldly underwater landscapes.
Together, these dive locations showcase the contrast between ethereal, shallow beauty and profound, shadowy depths, offering you a complete cenote cavern experience in one day.

Diving with DeepLife was an absolute joy. We booked after arriving on holiday in Cancun and Eduardo was very helpful and responsive on booking emails and arranging transport. Added bonus was getting photos from Berto to remember our trip. I would completely recommend DeepDive and will definitely use them should we visit Mexico again.

I did 3 dives in one day including one deep dive (The Pit) and two shallow dives at Dos Ojos (The Bat Cave and The Barbie Line). They were all wonderful and unlike anything I have ever seen scuba diving before. The cenotes were beautiful and I hope to come back one day with my son. I would definitely use Deep Life Divers again.
