Cenote Dive Experience – Angelita & Car Wash - 2 Cavern Dives
Dive into Enigmatic Depths and Sparkling Caverns of the Riviera Maya
This exclusive three-tank cenote adventure takes you to two of the Yucatán’s most iconic underwater sites:
- Angelita – A mesmerizing deep cenote that plunges nearly vertically into a halocline layer, creating ghostly cloud-like effects.
- Car Wash – A bright, tree-canopied cavern with sunbeams, towering columns, and exceptionally clear water.
Led by our experienced cavern-certified guides, this dive offers a dramatic contrast between deep, mysterious waters and luminous, open-air caverns.

- Car Wash: Named for the old practice of washing vehicles here, this cenote boasts lush trees overhead, vibrant shafts of light, and crystal-clear water—perfect for wide-angle shots and relaxed exploration.

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.
