The answers to all your questions
What do I bring?
Bring a towel and Mexican pesos for the cenote entrance fees. Scuba gear is provided at no additional cost, but you’re more than welcome to use your own gear. The fins I lend out are open heel so you’ll want to wear sandals or flip flops for the walk to the cenote. There will be a place by the water where you can leave your sandals during the dive. If bringing your own regulator, please let me know if your first stage is DIN or Yoke. Bring any personal scuba equipment in a gear bag. Water, snacks & lunch will be provided.
What is the water temperature?
Water temperature in the cenotes ranges between 25-26C / 77-78F.
Am I allowed to wear sunscreen?
No, sunscreen is not allowed in cenotes. Please do your part to help with conservation efforts. Divers must rinse off any sunscreen and/or lotions and creams before entering a cenote.
What if I’m only Open Water certified?
Open Water divers can dive in Cenote Eden, Chikin Ha, Dos Ojos & Carwash.
When can I fly?
You must wait at least 18 hours before flying or wait longer if directed by the no-fly time indicated on your dive computer. To err on the side of caution, wait 24 hours. Avoid high-altitude activities like ziplining, paragliding, parasailing, and skydiving after your cenote dives.

This price includes wetsuit and snorkel gear, food & transportation. Cenote entrance fees apply to non-divers entering the water.
Is cenote diving dangerous?
Cenote diving is safe when following the rules of diving in overhead environments that are discussed during the dive briefing before each dive. The cenote guide will perform a safety check on each diver before entering the cenote and bubble & weight checks once in the water.
What is cavern diving? Is cavern diving safe?
Cavern diving takes place in the daylight zone near the entrance of underwater caves, while cave diving involves utilizing guidelines and following established protocols to ensure a safe return. You do not need to be a certified cavern diver to enjoy a guided cenote dive.
Cavern diving is safe when done under the supervision of a certified cenote guide/full cave diver. Cenote diving without a guide is not permitted in Quintana Roo.
