If you are looking for a great, experienced local who knows this place like the back of his hand,…read morelook no farther than Luis. He is a wonderfully knowledgeable, professional dive master and easy going fellow who has a love of the reef ecosystem and an encyclopedic knowledge of the various creatures found there. Our friends were diving for a week, but they took us along on a few snorkel excursions, plus a longer boat tour of the area. Our friends could vouch for the diving...but you don't have to be a diver to enjoy a day with Luis. I really appreciated the ability to go beyond shore snorkeling and heading out to the reef...really only possible by boat. Luis knows all of the sweet spots, he has great stories, and he treats the natural resources with a reverence that I found to be very admirable. Quite simply, you won't be disappointed and I highly recommend with 5+ stars.

A CENOTE is a deep and usually large pool of water connected directly to subterranean rivers or…read moregroundwater. Usually they form when the bedrock collapses (like a sinkhole). This particular cenote is absolutely beautiful, huge and one of the deepest. It is 90 meters deep at the edge, and 150 meters deep at the center. The water is crystal clear and is renewed constantly by underground rivers. There are steps leading to the edge, and you are welcome to dive in. A rope with floats is extended out for you to hang onto if you need it. When you arrive, their is free parking, but not an actual parking lot. Just spaces along side the drive way. You pay a small fee to enter, and you receive a bracelet which allows you to leave and return at your convenience at no extra charge. As you walk through the entrance, there is a stairway to the right which leads you to a great place to view the beauty of the cenote. Or you may continue down to the water. There are some vendors selling float vests, souvenirs and other various things. The atmosphere is relaxing and peaceful, though there is some background music playing. An open air but shaded restaurant is located at the water's edge. You are welcome to find a table in the shade or sun, swim a while, eat, just chill out, etc. Bathrooms are available. The natural beauty is incredible. People come from all over the world to jump in. I encourage you to be one of them.
