Cenote Diving

Scuba diving Cenotes is one of the most interesting activities you could experience in life.

But what are cenotes anyway? At some point in time, sharks and whales were swimming where we now eat breakfast.

Thousands of years ago, sediments and coral reef started to accumulate and slowly created the Yucatan peninsula. Certain scientist explain Cenotes by a meteorite, other, simply justify it by the ice eras.

Anyway, the sea level went down and exposed the peninsula, leaving it like a gruyere cheese made out of calcareous matter. The porous ground acts as a filter for every rain drop, So, these cheesy looking wholes slowly got filled with water forming the Cenotes.

Known by the Mayas to be the entrance door of Xibalba (the death world), the world’s biggest underground river system lays just under our feet.

Sac Actun – Dos Ojos System is the longest underground river system recently found to connect and run for a total of 215 miles.

Magnífica experiencia !! Tomé la certificación "OPEN WATER" y la comunicación por parte de Eduardo siempre fue fluida y estuvo aclarándome todas mis dudas. Ya durante la inmersiones, Ale fue quien impartió las practicas, siempre muy profesional, y un buen de tips para hacer más fácil la práctica. Muy recomendables.

Had a fantastic experience diving with Eduardo. He arranged 2 dives at Cozumel, a red dive and a shipwreck dive. Both phenomenal, dove with a turtle, and saw an underwater tourist submarine drive by the shipwreck, waved to them, they waved back. Lol. Did 2 dives with Eduardo in 2 cenotes, The Pit and Dos Ojos. Both phenomenal experience diving in underwater caves. Eduardo was super communicative and helpful before and during the dives. Highly recommend.

I trained with Acuaticaribe to get my PADI Open Water while my girlfriend was doing her Advanced and it has been a fantastic experience for both of us. First, Eduardo has been super nice, accommodating and responsive via WhatsApp. He allowed us to plan all our dives in a tight schedule and still achieve our objective. My instructor was Eduardo himself and he is great. Patient during the learning phase but also ready to go the extra mile so you get the most out of your dives while making you feel safe and secure. My girlfriend went out with Mara and also got the most out of her dives (both in open water and cenotes). Overall an amazing experience at a small scale dive shop that allow the experience to be human! Thanks Acuaticaribe!

Had a great experience! I came to acquire my advanced open water certification, and I was able to knock it out in two days (five dives). Everyone was professional, kind, knowledgeable, fun to dive with. I highly recommend!

Had so much fun diving with Eduardo. He is patient, professional and very attuned to his students experience. He makes sure one feels confortable with the equipment and the environment throughout the dive. He transmits confidence and security - whenever I felt a bit nervous he was able to help me calm down and relax , and this made a big positive difference for me. I can’t wait to visit Playa again and continue to explore the beautiful reefs with Aquaticaribe.

La experiencia con Eduardo y Alfonso fue excepcional! Quería hacer el Open water desde hace tiempo y ellos me dieron la confianza que necesité desde el primer momento, muy profesionales. Las inmersiones fueron lo mejor! Súper recomendable tanto la experiencia como los instructores.

I was looking for a good course with PADI certification in the Caribe. Eduardo's answers to all our questions were quick and clear. We god a great feeling since the begining. The course is very complete and he guided and took care of us all along. It was a very complete and awesome experience. Highly recommended!
