In the middle of the Yucatan jungle there are small ponds, in which entrances have been discovered to sub- aquatic caverns, unique on the whole planet: the world famous Cenotes.
To see the impressive lime stone stalactites in these caverns is an exclusive privilege for the lucky divers that enter the Cenotes. 

Here, a visibility of more than 60 metres is not uncommon, giving the impression of one floating in mid air.

You will be able to discover the halocline effect!

This phenomenon is originated by the entry of sea water inside the underground system. The fresh underground water is a very thin layer that floats on a layer of sea water, which can reach many kilometres inland. Between both water layers (the superficial sweet, less dense, and the deep, denser marina), an area of specific transition is established called a halocline.
Each level of halocline will depend on the different Cenote, is usually at 10-12 meters / 33- 40 feet, and produces a stratification phenomenon of the Cenote:  it operates as a physical barrier that isolates the layer of fresh water.
This effect produces a very particular sensation when diving that can be perceived perfectly when observing your dive buddy. By agitating the water while swimming at the height of the halocline, a "blurry" effect takes place around you. The silhouettes merge completely contrasting with the clarity and transparency of rest of water, giving an unreal sensation that adds to the already magical scene of the Cenote.
Many of the marvellous Cenotes have long sections where direct access to the surface is possible, therefore the majority of the divers can enjoy them without additional training, accompanied, at all times, by one or our Dressel Divers Cenotes guides ( Max 4 divers per guide ).

Cenotes diving is not difficult, but you do need good buoyancy control.

Therefore, you need to do at least 1 reef dive with us before diving Cenotes so we can check that.
Open Water certification is required. Minimum age: 12 years old.

Each excursion allows 2 single dives and takes place every day on request of the clients, with the exception of Sundays.
