Barbie Line

Cenote Dos Ojos (“Two Eyes”) is made up of two cenotes and is part of the Sac Actun cave system. The Barbie Line is a 500m/1,600ft circuit and the first line of Dos Ojos. Both lines start and end in the same cenote - the first eye (East Eye).

This line takes divers alongside the West Eye where you’ll enjoy dancing light rays and fossils & cool formations. There is a barbie & croc attached to midway point of the dive. Don’t touch Barbie or the crocodile will eat you! I’ve seen it happen before so no funny business 😜

The Bat Cave line in Cenote Dos Ojos is a bit darker than the Barbie Line but it’s filled with beautiful formations. Towards the beginning of the dive we get to cover our lights to enjoy the natural light of two small cenotes. We slowly glide alongside highly decorated formations until we surface in the Bat Cave, an air-filled dome full of bats with a small opening in the ceiling allowing a beautiful light ray to penetrate through. Keep an eye out for Batman, he might be hiding somewhere in the cave. I heard he goes after divers who touch the formations or those who stay far from the group! Dos Ojos is featured in the following documentaries/movies:

  • IMAX movie “Journey into Amazing Caves” (2001)

  • “The Cave” (2005)

  • BBC series “Planet Earth” (2007)
