Cenote Nohoch Nah Chich
Nohoch Nah Chich means “giant bird cage” and is located in the longest underwater cave system in the world. Previously only open to certified cave divers & snorkelers, the new cavern line now makes this gorgeous cenote available to recreational divers.
The cavern line takes you on a journey alongside beautiful formations, massive columns, huge tree roots, and fish! In some areas, the water doesn’t reach the ceiling so we’re able to pop up to admire the stalactites that continue to grow to this day!
Cenote Nohoch is located just north of Tulum, 54 km from PDC.
Cenote Tak Be Luum
Entrance Fee: 300 pesos
Camera Fee: None
Certification Required: Advanced
Max Depth: 6.5m/21ft
Speleothems: 5/5
Halocline: No
Tak Be Luum is home to massive columns, unique bubble/roasted marshmallow-looking formations & a passage called “The Gate of Hell”. This cenote is very dark; so if you’re afraid of the dark, this cenote is not for you. Due to the darkness of this cenote, it is almost guaranteed that you’ll see a blind cavefish (or two). Other fish you’ll see in this cavern are tetras, ciclids, and catfish.
Tak Be Luum is a shallow dive and the bottom is full of large dunes of silt. You’ll find a thin layer of hydrogen sulfide cloud on the bottom toward the beginning of the dive making for an eerie scene. The cavern line crosses through sections of open water so we’re always close to the surface.
