The Dos Ojos Cenote is a world-renowned destination for divers due to its unique underwater features and exceptional diving opportunities. The name “Dos Ojos,” meaning “Two Eyes” in Spanish, refers to the two distinct sinkholes connected by an extensive system of underwater caves. This cenote is about a 30-minute drive from Xico Dive Center and offers a maximum depth of approximately 32ft/10m. Dos Ojos is famous for its crystal-clear freshwater, providing exceptional visibility that makes it a dream for divers and underwater photographers. The extensive system of underwater caves is a focal point for cave diving enthusiasts, who can explore intricate cave formations such as stalactites and stalagmites while navigating through underground tunnels. The unique lighting, underwater formations, and the surreal feeling of being inside a cave create an extraordinary underwater world. This cenote offers an exciting and memorable underwater adventure, allowing divers to witness the incredible formations created by thousands of years of geological processes. The Dos Ojos Cenote is part of the extensive network of cenotes in the Yucatan, which were sacred to the ancient Maya civilization and often used for rituals and ceremonies. It is a must-visit destination for those with a sense of wonder for the hidden beauty of cenotes and the allure of exploring an underwater cave system.
A Day Cenote Diving:
A day of cenote diving is an exciting half day activity. Diving in cenotes is always recommended for experienced divers with ample buoyancy, please consider if this is an activity for you. In the morning divers arrive at Xico Dive Center at 8:30am, where they will meet one of our highly trained guides and then get transported to the cenotes from our dive center. Once divers arrive at the cenote they will get geared up and begin their first dive. After the dive, divers will get the opportunity to have a quick rest, some lunch and some beverages. It is IMPORTANT that divers bring dry clothing to change into during transportation to and from the cenotes. After lunch divers are taken to the second cenote for their next dive. Once the day of diving is complete divers are transported back to the dive center. The time of return varies depending on which cenotes divers go to.
