Dive into the depths and lose yourself in the tranquility of these sacred pools.

Cenotes have great cultural importance, they were considered sacred by the ancient Mayan civilization and were frequently used in religious ceremonies. Diving in cenotes is a unique and exciting experience. Many cenotes are connected to extensive underwater cave systems, making them intriguing diving spots. Cenotes are known for their impressive geological formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and other intricate underwater features. These formations have developed over thousands of years and create a surreal and out-of-this-world underwater landscape. Cenote diving offers an unforgettable and somewhat surreal underwater adventure, combining natural beauty, geological wonders and historical significance. It is an exciting experience for certified divers who are prepared to explore the mysteries hidden beneath the Earth’s surface. At Xico Dive Center we offer cenote diving in several locations, each of which is unique and different.
The Typical Day of 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.
