Who Should Go Scuba Diving In A Cenote?

You are allowed to dive as soon as you have your diving certificate. However, it is recommended to have good buoyancy control to make sure that you do not stir up the sediments from the floor or destroy the rock formations bumping into them.

The guides will only bring advanced divers to the more dangerous and difficult cenotes. Once a stalactite or stalagmite breaks off it is gone and can only grow back during the next ice age – just think about that. You can also hire diving experts to get the best diving experience via https://thecenoteguy.com/cenote-diving-playa-del-carmen/.

Sand stirred up from the ground decreases the visibility and as there is only very little current it will stay for a long time.

One of the great things in the cenotes in Yucatan is the light play from the sun’s rays meeting the crystal clear water. Other highlights are limestone caves decorated with stalactites and stalagmites, as well as some Mayan bones and pottery. 

Furthermore, it is possible to play around with the halocline which seems like another water surface inside of the water. You can see them from above and from below, while swimming through them they stir up and everything will become blurry. It's fun once you've got your head around what is happening.

There is not much wildlife in the caverns. In the ones with larger openings, you might find freshwater fish, turtles, and in one even there is even a small resident crocodile.
