Cenote Angelita + Shallow Cenote
Playa del Carmen
Description
The Riviera Maya has the largest underground water system in the world.
Cenotes are systems of flooded caves formed by crystalline underground rivers typical of the region. In these fresh waters, you will find a great amount of biodiversity as well as stalactites, stalagmites, marine fossils, gas clouds (sulfuric acid) and haloclines (mix of salt water with fresh water), with a visibility of more than 50 meters.
Diving in Cenote Angelita is something completely different from all the other cenotes in the region.
To enter the water at Cenote Angelita, you walk 45 meters into the jungle and once there you must go down some stairs to reach the platform that gives easy access to the water.
If you are a lover of cenotes, this has to be on your list!
This cenote located about 20 km south of Tulum has a depth of 55 meters and the diving takes place above 35 meters.
It is a unique cenote, since at 30 meters there is the cloud created by a layer of hydrogen sulfur about 3 meters thick.
It will be one of the most bizarre dives you can do in your life, as you will find it similar to a mystical underwater river decorated by fallen trees and huge branches, which together create a surreal, unique and completely otherworldly experience.
And to finish this incredible experience, you will be able to select between Cenote Manatí, Cenote Car Wash or Cenote Calavera to make a second shallow dive and continue enjoying these spectacular "Mayan pools".
The cenotes are a singular point of attraction and a must for any diver. Live this magical and unforgettable experience!

My tour - Snorkeling with the whale shark with Gluup was absolutely fantastic! Right from the pickup to drop off was smooth and hassle-free. A special mention for Ricky, our guide who was one of the best tour guides I have ever seen. He ensured everyone was feeling okay when a few on board got sea sick. He ensured I had the closest and the safest encounter with the Whale Shark! Thank you for an Incredible experience. Keep it up, Ricardo! Mucho Gracias 🙏
