Cenote Dive Experience – Chi Kin Ha
Explore one of the most photogenic and peaceful cenotes of the Riviera Maya
Chi Kin Ha is an enchanting cenote ideal for divers seeking calm, surreal beauty and a gentle introduction to cavern diving. Known for its peaceful waters, sunlight rays beaming through the entrance, and expansive rock formations, this site offers a perfect balance of safety, visibility, and atmosphere.
This tour includes two dives in Chi Kin Ha: the first explores the sunlit cavern area with its lush roots and crystal formations; the second dive goes further along the cavern line where haloclines, tannic layers, and light plays intensify the experience. This is one of the few cenotes where you can spot tree roots penetrating the water and hovering over lush green underwater moss.

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.
