Cenote & Cavern Diving
The most famous underwater caves are located here in the Riviera Maya stretching from Playa del Carmen through Puerto Aventuras, Akumal and on to the Tulum area.
The Cenotes and cave systems of Chak Mool, Eden / Ponderosa, Taj Mahal, Dos Ojos, Nohoch Nachich, Grand Cenote, Temple of Doom, Carwash, Naharon and Maya Blue are just a few examples of very popular Cenotes and cave systems. Other cave systems less visited are Naval, Abejas, Caracol, Xibablba, Minotauro and 27 steps to name just a few.
Unknown to most cave divers lies the island of Cozumel with some large underwater caves such as Aereolito.
Access to the cave entrances can only be described as easy and most of the time only a short walk is nececary to get into the water. Water temperature is 24 C / 78 F year around with very good visability of around 130 feet / 40 meters plus. Minimal water flow is to be expected with some areas of no water flow at all.
A halocline, the horizontal mixing zone of fresh and salt water is at around 38 feet / 12 meters depth, depending of the cave system. Cave entrances close to the ocean and in the calettas, the discharging area of the cave systems, the halocline is encountered at a much shallower depth.
The caves are filled with a very fine silt that can be easily stirred up and will stay in suspension for quite a time. Geology is very stable with very few cave collapses.
