Suitable ONLY for EXPERIENCED DIVERS, the tour offers 2 dives in two cenotes: Angelita and Carwash.
Among the numerous and marvelous cenotes in which it is possible to dive in the Yucatan peninsula, the CENOTE ANGELITA is certainly special: a deep sinkhole completely open on top that present a thick layer of hydrogen sulfide at around 100 ft/30 m which formed through rotten vegetation and which separates the fresh water from salt water below. Out of this opaque artificial seeming surface rises the top of the collapsed cave ceiling, like a half moon shaped island with trees on it.
A deep multilevel dive starting with a straight descent in a surreal landscape till around 30 m/100 ft where the layer start… as passing through it the light disappear and the diving lamp becomes necessary. A slow ascent by making circles around the gigantic cylinder to end the experience with the safety stop.
Completely different scenery offered by the second dive. CARWASH (Aktun Ha is the Mayan name) is an excellent example of the natural collapse formation of sinkholes and looks like a giant pond, more than 150 ft (50 m) across with an average depth of 3 meters.
During the summer, in the open area, acid and algae mix near the surface making a red-color effect in the water and creating incredible landscapes. A shallow cavern, the deepest point reach a depth of 16 meters/53 feet, will let you astonished by the plants filled areas, submerged trees, schools of small fishes and turtles that inhabit these waters… even a little crocodile.
NOTE - This is a trip for at least two divers: if there is only 1 diver there will be an extra 50 usd to pay before the tour start.
