The cenotes stay around 24–26°C (75–79°F) year-round, so a 3mm wetsuit is recommended.
Is cenote diving different from ocean diving?
Yes. Cenote diving offers incredible visibility, calm water, and stunning light effects, but it also requires good buoyancy control.
Can I dive with a camera in Cenote Chac Mool?
Please note that at Cenote Chac Mool, cameras are not allowed for divers. There are photographers on site, so if you would like photos, that option is available there.
What is the cancellation policy?

If the reservation is canceled or modified up to 24 hours before the activity date, no cancellation fee will be charged. If the reservation is canceled or modified less than 24 hours before the activity, or in the event of a no show, 100% of the prepaid deposit will be charged.

No cancellation fee will apply if the activity is canceled by Xico Dive Center due to weather conditions, port closure, or operational reasons, and cannot be rescheduled.

In the case of cancellations due to medical reasons, no cancellation fee will apply only if a valid medical certificate is provided within 24 hours of the scheduled tour time.

For courses that include PADI or other eLearning materials, the deposit is non refundable once the eLearning has been activated or issued. This is because the training materials remain valid and can still be used by the student, whether they continue the course with us at a later date or complete it with another dive center.

If a course or activity must be postponed, we will always do our best to reschedule it according to availability.
