About this site
This freshwater cenote dive in Oaxaca offers crystal-clear visibility through a stunning underwater canyon. Swim through narrow rock passages surrounded by lush jungle roots dangling from above. Sunlight filters through the crack in the earth, creating dramatic light beams. The cool, mineral-rich water stays around 24°C year-round. Perfect for beginners with minimal current, yet fascinating for experienced divers with its unique geological formations. Watch for small fish darting between the rock walls. The site connects to an underground river system, adding an adventurous element. Surface intervals feature a picturesque swimming hole surrounded by tropical vegetation.
