What’s the difference between Cavern and Cave diving?
Cavern zone is an area where there is a natural light source, the depth does not exceed 70 feet/21 meters and we are at a distance that does not surpass 130 ft/40m from the nearest exit. The Cave zone is beyond the Cavern zone in distance and depth and it’s main characteristic is the absence of a natural light source. Cave diving requires specialized training in order to have a safe dive.
What is the water temperature in the cenotes?
The average water temperature is about 77F/25C and stays this way pretty much throughout the year.
What is the best time of the year to dive in cenotes?
Cenote diving is possible year round. If you want to visit the places with low activity the best time to come would be during low season which is in May, September and October. In these months you’ll see less people at the cenotes and in the Mayan Riviera in general.
What is the visibility like in the cenotes?
In most cases, the water is crystal clear. There are some natural factors that can modify this in some sections of the dive, but in general it’s over 200ft/60m.
Do you provide equipment?
Equipment rental is included in all our courses and private guiding dives. We provide our students with Apeks /Aqualung gear and wetsuits. However, nothing compares diving with your own mask, wetsuit or fins.
