WHAT ARE CENOTE DIVING TOURS?
Cenote diving tours are an amazing way to explore the underwater world around Tulum.
Each Cenote has something completely different to offer, from haloclines to hydrogren sulfate clouds to caverns lined with stalagmites and stalactites.
Whether you're a newly certified diver or a master diver with years of experience, our Cenote Diving Tours will fascinate and inspire you!
CASA CENOTE
Perfect open water and cavern environment that suits complete beginners for their first diving experience to advanced. Also a perfect refresher dive before progressing onto a cavern such as Dos Ojos.
Certified divers can experience a dive through cracks and passages in the limestone and under the mangrove. For the more experienced diver the cenote offers an alternative and a more challenging tour with unexpected surprises.
$195 USD per person, Casa Cenote + Dos Ojos
$245 USD per person, Casa Cenote + Dos Ojos both lines
(Supplement for solo diver, private tour +$25)
CENOTE DOS OJOS
Easily considered to be the most famous cenote in the world, Dos Ojos' two cavern lines offer scuba divers a variety of adventures.
The Barbie Line offers amazing light effects and beautiful stalactites, stalagmites and columns all seen through crystal clear water.
The Bat Cave offers an amazing opportunity to surface part way through the dive into a huge air dome filled with hundreds of hanging and flying bats.
Dos Ojos Cenote Diving Tours require a PADI Open Water Certificate for exploration as a Scuba Diver.
$185 USD per person, both lines
$235 USD per person, both lines + Casa Cenote
(Supplement for solo diver, private tour +$25)
CENOTE CAR WASH
Traditionally known as cenote Aktun Ha, Car Wash is a magical Cenote like no other.
Despite its Mayan name, Aktun Ha is better known as 'Car Wash' from when taxi drivers used to take their cars down to the Cenote to wash them — can you imagine?!?.
Once in the water, you will descend through the roots of a fallen tree.
Once beneath the water, a small algae that lives near the surface offers the illusion that you're beneath the clouds, amidst an amazing light show created by the sun's beams passing through the trees up-top and piercing into the cavern waters.
$195 USD per person, for 2 dives (Car Wash + Casa Cenote)
(Supplement for solo diver, private tour +$25)
Car Wash Cenote Diving Tours requires a PADI Open Water Certificate for exploration as a Scuba Diver.

Dive equipment rentals

CENOTE ANGELITA
Cenote Angelita, meaning Little Angel, is a deep water sinkhole.
The hydrogen sulphate cloud here is dense, sitting at around 30m/100ft.
This cloud, alongside the perfectly preserved tree trunks and branches found in the Cenote, gives the surreal illusion of an underground lake and island.
Divers surface from Cenote Angelita, each with a unique perspective of what they’ve just experienced — from a Haunted House, Misty Swamp and Foggy Forest effect to scenes from Star Wars on planet Dagobah. You have to experience it for yourself to understand!
$195 USD per person, for 2 dives (Angelita + Car Wash)
(Supplement for solo diver, private tour +$25)
Angelita Cenote Diving Tours Require a PADI Advanced Open Water Certificate for exploration as a Scuba Diver)
CENOTE EL PIT
El Pit is an amazing huge sink hole Cenote found deep in the jungle.
Entry is a 6m/20ft climb down a wooden staircase, with amazing rays of bright turquoise light beaming down from the sun to the hydrogen sulphate cloud forming at 30m/100ft deep within it.
As we descend down to the cloud, we’ll pass through a halocline at 15m/70ft, where we’ll see perfectly preserved trees sticking out from the mud island in the centre.
Once we reach the cloud, we’ll swim into and become engulfed by it, disappearing and then reappearing again — the ideal shot for your Go Pro cameras!
After a few minutes engulfed by this experience, we’ll slowly start our ascent circling the edges of the huge collapse, reaching the ceiling of the cavern at around 15m/35ft, thereby finishing off our dive witnessing the various formations and amazing shafts of laser beam lights.
$195 USD per person, for 2 dives (El Pit + Dos Ojos)
$245 USD per person, for 3 dives (El Pit + Both Lines at Dos Ojos)
(Supplement for solo diver, private tour +$25)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I dive today?
As our Guided Cenote Diving Tours typically meet at 8am, we confirm the schedule the evening before. That said, it may be possible to arrange a same day tour if we receive the inquiry early enough. We will do what we can to help.
Do I need a certification to join a Guided Cenote Diving Tour?
You will require a minimum of PADI Open Water (or equivalent) to dive in the cenotes. Some cenotes require a minimum of Advanced Open Water (or equivalent) as they are deeper dives. Some cenotes require an assessment dive to ensure good buoyancy control to protect the dive environment.
If you wish to explore a cenote but are not yet certified, the Discover Scuba Diving experience could be perfect for you. If you're ready to get certified and start exploring, find out about our PADI courses here.
Is there a minimum age to join a Guided Cenote Diving Tour?
The minimum age to dive in a cenote is 15 years.
We have a non-diver in our group - can they come along to snorkel?
Not all cenotes are suitable for snorkeling so this would be one of the deciding factors. Casa Cenote, Car Wash and Dos Ojos provide an excellent experience for divers and snorkelers alike. Our guides can take a maximum of 4 divers and if there is space in the vehicle (i.e. the dive is not full) they can take a non-diver along. The charge is $70 USD and does not include cenote entrance fees.
If you are a large mixed ability group, please get in touch and we can work out something bespoke for you.
Cenote diving looks AWESOME! How do I book?
In order to secure your place on one of our Guided Cenote Diving Tours, please get in touch via the contact form on the website or WhatsApp. Please provide the following information:
Your certification (Open Water, Advanced Open Water etc).
Number of dives logged
Date of last dive (month/year)
Dates you would like to dive
Cenotes you would like to dive (if you have a preference)
After confirming your schedule, we will provide instructions for paying a deposit to secure your place.
Do you offer reef diving?
The Riviera Maya is famed for its cenotes and Tulum is perfectly placed to access the world's best cenote diving. If you have never considered cenote diving before it is definitely worth giving it a try while you're in the area as it's a pretty unique diving experience. It would be a shame to miss out!
However, if it's really not for you, we do offer reef diving (conditions permitting).
Do I need a refresher dive?
If you have less than 20 dives and have not been diving in over a year, we would strongly recommend a dive at Casa Cenote before diving a Cenote Cavern such as Dos Ojos. It is important when you enter an overhead environment that you have practised the basic skills (e.g. mask clearing, regulator recovery) and that you are comfortable with your buoyancy. Casa Cenote has a large open area where these skills can be practised with your guide before enjoying this beautiful dive.
