Dive Site Highlights
Cenote Angelita:
This cenote is renowned for its eerie underwater hydrogen sulfide cloud that sits around 100 ft deep, dividing the freshwater above from saltwater below. Descending through the cloud is like floating through a scene from another world. This is a deep dive ideal for experienced divers with strong buoyancy control and comfort at depth.
Cenote Taj Ma Ha:
One of the most intricate and beautiful cenotes in the Riviera Maya. You’ll explore two separate cavern lines:
Sugar Bowl Line: Known for a stunning light beam that enters through a skylight, creating an ethereal glow in the clear water.
Jumper Line: A more advanced route showcasing incredible stalactites, stalagmites, haloclines, and fossilized marine life. Not a cave dive, but excellent buoyancy is required due to the delicate formations.
Taj Ma Ha is a perfect site for cavern diving, offering a mix of geological beauty, optical illusions from haloclines, and safe, well-marked routes always within reach of natural light.
