Best Cenote Diving Mexico for Scuba Divers Check out our favorite cenotes to scuba dive in!
If you’re a certified scuba diver, the cenotes of the Yucatán peninsula need to be on your scuba diving bucket list. These freshwater natural pools, which are dotted throughout the jungle areas of Quintana Roo and the Yucatán are magical places for scuba diving and make a great change from diving in the ocean.
Due to the nature and difficulty of these dives, you need to be a fully certified scuba diver to experience diving in cenotes. Some also have depth requirements too, making them only suitable for advanced open water divers.
As the name might suggest, El Pit is a deep cenote. A seemingly bottomless pit, it goes deep down into the Earth, but you need to be an advanced technical diver to experience that!
For recreational diving at cenote El Pit, you need to be an advanced open water diver, as you descend down to almost 100 feet / 30 meters. This large hole in the ground has an incredible visibility as the water is crystal clear.
Watching the sun rays plunge into the water on a bright morning is something very special that you need to see!
Cenote Dos Ojos
Dos Ojos is one of the more popular and well known for cenote diving in Mexico.
Its name, when translated from Spanish, means two eyes, which is due to the shape of this cenote.
It has two different lines you can dive along, one around each of the eyes. One is called the bat cave, as during the dive you can surface in an air dome which is home to many bats. The other is called the ‘Barbie’ line, for a surprising reason, that you’ll only discover upon diving it!
It features beautiful formations and as it has many openings, the light which pierces through into this cenote makes it visually stunning.
