3. First Immersion – Cenote Kukulkán

Maximum depth: 14 meters (46 feet)

The first dive begins at the Kukulkan cenote, an open water entrance with great visibility and natural lighting. Here you can observe fish, turtles and abundant aquatic life. During the tour, the diver crosses an impressive halocline where fresh and salt water mix, generating an undulating visual effect. As you progress, the environment becomes more cavernous, offering a subtle transition into the mysterious Mayan underworld, without losing visual contact with the light outside.

After the first dive, a break is offered next to the entrance of the cenote. Water, fruits, snacks and a sandwich are included. If you have special dietary needs, do not hesitate to inform us in advance to adapt your snack.

5. Second Dive – Little Brother Cenote (Chac Mool)

The second dive begins at the Little Brother cenote, the entry point to the system known as Chac Mool. This route takes you through decorated tunnels until you reach an impressive air dome, where it is possible to surface, take off your regulator and contemplate the space from inside the cavern.

During the tour, the diver will be able to observe crystalline formations, stalactites and unique geological textures, all in a darker and more intimate environment. This dive contrasts with the first one because of its more closed and technical atmosphere, offering a more introspective experience, ideal for divers who wish to delve deeper into the subterranean world of the region.

6. Return

At the end of both dives, we return to your hotel or residence. This concludes a day of exploration that combines the light and clarity of Kukulkan with the deep mystery of Little Brother, in one of the most fascinating cenote systems of the Riviera Maya.
