If you’re a scuba diving enthusiast looking for a thrilling underwater experience, the cenotes near Cozumel are an absolute must-visit. These natural sinkholes filled with crystal-clear freshwater offer a unique diving opportunity that attracts divers from around the world. In this article, we’ll explore how you can embark on an unforgettable scuba diving adventure in the cenotes, starting from the Ferry Pier in Playa del Carmen.

Before we delve into the details of cenote diving, let’s discuss the logistics. When you decide to explore the cenotes, we ensure a seamless experience for you by picking you up from the Ferry Pier in Playa del Carmen. This convenient service allows you to focus on the excitement ahead without any worries about transportation.

Once we leave the Ferry dock, our journey takes us south and deep into the jungle. The lush greenery and exotic surroundings create a sense of adventure as we travel to the cenotes. Along the way, you’ll be treated to the mesmerizing beauty of nature, preparing you for the underwater wonders that await.

Upon arrival, we provide you with a comprehensive briefing to ensure your safety throughout the diving experience. Our expert guides explain the general safety procedures for all cavern dives. They cover important aspects such as team dynamics, light and hand communication, navigation, gas management, and emergency procedures. Your safety is our utmost priority, and we ensure that you feel confident and well-prepared before diving into the cenotes.

It’s time for the day’s highlight – the cavern dives in the cenotes. As you descend into the refreshing freshwater, an enchantment world unfolds before you. The cenotes boast remarkable geological formations, stalactites, and stalagmites that have developed over thousands of years. The visibility in the crystal-clear waters is unparalleled, allowing you to immerse yourself in this subterranean realm’s beauty fully.

Cavern dives typically last between 40 to 50 minutes, depending on the depth and length of the cavern line. Between dives, we take a relaxed surface interval. After completing our exhilarating dives, we break for a light lunch. You can enjoy a delicious baguette sandwich onsite.

After an awe-inspiring day exploring the cenotes, we return to Playa del Carmen. We ensure your convenience by dropping you off either at the ferry dock or your hotel, depending on your preferences. The return journey allows you to relax and reflect on the incredible memories created during your underwater adventure.

If you’re traveling with non-diver friends or family, they can also partake in the cenote experience. While you explore the underwater wonders, they can indulge in snorkeling at various cenotes. This way, everyone can have a memorable time, regardless of their diving expertise.

It’s important to note that cenotes are private properties, and each site charges an entrance fee. Once you arrive at the cenotes, you must register and pay the family or community in Mexican Pesos. The entrance fees range from 400 to 600 pesos daily, depending on the specific cenote. By respecting and supporting the local communities, you contribute to preserving these natural treasures.

During your cavern dives, you’ll always have the comfort of natural sunlight illuminating your surroundings. While exploring the cenotes, you’ll follow a guideline, ensuring that you never stray too far from the surface. The maximum distance you’ll be from the surface is 60 meters (200 feet). In the unlikely event of an emergency, rest assured that you can swim out of the cavern much quicker than from a depth of 30 meters.
