This might be my favorite cavern dive due to its difficulty and abundance of fragile formations & fossils - excellent buoyancy control is required. The entrance is very narrow and steep so be careful when walking down the steps. You can also pay 100 pesos to the cenote owner to have your gear lowered down by a rope pulley.

Sections of the cavern are illuminated with artificial lights making this cavern perfect for photography/videography. The speleothems in Taak Bi Ha are just straight up ridiculous, prepare to have your mind blown!

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.
