Cenote Dive Experience – The Pit & Dos Ojos (3 Tank Dive)
Discover Three of the Most Iconic Cenote Dives in a Single Day
This premium three-tank cenote diving tour takes you to explore the otherworldly beauty of The Pit and the majestic cavern system of Dos Ojos. These are two of the most famous and spectacular cenotes in the entire Riviera Maya, perfect for certified divers seeking a deep, surreal, and light-filled freshwater experience like no other.
Welcome to our site
The Pit is the deepest cenote dive in the region, reaching depths of over 100 ft. Here you’ll descend into a cathedral of light where sunbeams cut through the water, illuminating the hydrogen sulfide cloud at around 90 ft. This dive is visually spectacular and spiritually moving, known for its crystal-clear water, halocline layers, and awe-inspiring vertical shaft. It’s a must-do for advanced divers.
After The Pit, we move to Dos Ojos (“Two Eyes”), one of the most visited cenote systems in Mexico, known for its two distinct dive lines: the Barbie Line and the Bat Cave.
- The Barbie Line is a relaxed, scenic dive with impressive rock formations, light effects, and wide-open spaces ideal for appreciating stalactites and stalagmites.
- The Bat Cave Line is a bit darker and more mysterious, leading into a dome filled with bats above the surface and air pockets where you can surface briefly and look around. The formations and sense of discovery are truly unique.
Both lines are cavern dives (not full cave dives), and are always guided by certified cavern instructors.

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.
