Cenote Dive Experience – Hell Bells & Kin-Ha
Descend into Two Hidden Geological Marvels of the Yucatán Peninsula
This cenote adventure takes certified divers to two of the most awe-inspiring dive sites in the Riviera Maya: the hauntingly beautiful Hell Bells and the rarely visited yet spectacular Kin-Ha cenote. These locations offer a balance of scientific wonder, unique formations, and crystal-clear diving that will leave even seasoned divers in awe.
Welcome to our site
Cenote Hell Bells is a world-famous site known for its eerie bell-shaped speleothems suspended like chandeliers inside a deep hydrogen sulfide cloud. These formations are believed to form through unique microbial activity, making this cenote one of the most scientifically intriguing dive sites in the world. Diving here is like entering another planet — the visual impact and atmosphere are unforgettable.
Cenote Kin-Ha offers a contrasting experience. Located deep in the jungle and accessible via a scenic road, Kin-Ha is a wide, open cenote with intense natural light penetrating its surface and dancing across the water. The dive here involves a gentle descent through blue freshwater into mysterious caverns adorned with stunning limestone formations. Light beams, cavern domes, and peaceful silence make this dive a photographer’s dream and a calming spiritual experience.
Both cenotes are part of the Riviera Maya’s sacred underground river system and are considered cavern dives (not full cave dives). You’ll be accompanied by certified cavern guides who prioritize safety while creating an unforgettable experience.

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.
