🤿 The diving

The Riviera Maya around Tulum offers cavern diving in freshwater cenotes, sinkholes opening into the vast Sistema Sac Actun cave network spanning over 378km (235mi). Signature sites include Dos Ojos with its two interlinked caverns full of stalactites, Gran Cenote, and the eerie Cenote Angelita where a hydrogen-sulfide cloud at 25-30m (82-98ft) mimics an underwater river; cavern dives are guided and accessible to Open Water divers with no cave certification required.

Also known for: Cavern diving through crystalline cenotes of the Sac Actun cave system
