Cenote Dos Ojos

Mexico is perhaps the best destination in the world for an introduction to cave diving. This is due to its system of flooded freshwater caves, locally called cenotes. When staying in the Yucatan Peninsula, you’ll have your choice of several, but one cenote stands out as the best dive in the region. That is Cenote Dos Ojos. It is among the best dive sites in Mexico. Dos Ojos, which in Spanish translates to “Two Eyes”, is part of a flooded cave located north of Tulum, on the Caribbean coast, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The name is derived from two closeby sinkholes connected by a corridor that runs about 400 meters long. Natural light is abundant in this particular area and the visibility underwater is unbelievable.

Dos Ojos Cenote diving is an unforgettably gorgeous experience that will surpass all of your expectations. This cave reaches more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) and offers several dive paths through its many passages and rooms. As one of the most popular dives in Mexico, don’t expect to be the only diver underwater. To dive in here, you should have Intermediate to Advanced.

Location: Yucatan, Mexico.

Best Time To Dive: May to September.
