Depths describe the recreational profile we dive, not the cenote's maximum depth. Good buoyancy control recommended.

One cenote.
Two ways to experience it.

Iconic shallow cavern diving in very clear water, with limestone formations and a strong visual connection with the cavern entrances. A good introduction to cenote diving in the Riviera Maya.

Dive routes

Two dives. Two different sides of Dos Ojos.

Brighter · More open · Natural light

Barbie Line

Level 01Starter

The more open side of Dos Ojos. Clear water, natural light and limestone formations, with the cavern entrances in view for much of the dive.

CDT requirements
Open Water or one-star (minimum)
Diving within the previous 6 months (otherwise a refresher dive at Casa Cenote may be recommended or required)
Why this level

Shallow, fairly constant depth · Wide passages · Constant natural light

Starter does not mean no skill is required. Normal cavern buoyancy and control still apply.

Minimum age 15. CREER levels are a reference, not a required progression; the final choice also depends on your recent experience, buoyancy, the day's conditions and your guide's assessment.

Darker · More enclosed · Limited natural light

Bat Cave

Level 02Intermediate

The more enclosed route: less daylight, closer walls and a very different mood from Barbie Line. Its Level 02 classification does not mean you must dive Barbie Line first.

CDT requirements
Open Water or equivalent
Diving within the previous 6 months (otherwise a refresher dive at Casa Cenote may be recommended or required)
Why this level

Shallow · Smaller passages · Limited natural light · Halocline where present

Minimum age 15. CREER levels are a reference, not a required progression; the final choice also depends on your recent experience, buoyancy, the day's conditions and your guide's assessment.
