Kin Ha
Deep, open cenote diving
Down the wall.
A vertical cenote about 50 m across. The dive follows the wall down and back up, past distinctive bell-shaped formations, while openings in the ceiling let natural light in. The name is commonly read as “Sun and Water.”

Depths describe the recreational profile we dive, not the cenote's maximum depth. Requirements are minimum guidelines; the final choice also depends on your recent experience, buoyancy, comfort and the day's conditions.
What you'll experience
The wall is your reference.
You descend along the wall, using it as your visual line, to the planned depth of around 30 m, then make a controlled ascent along it. The bell-shaped formations around the walls are the detail to watch.
Openings in the ceiling let light in. When the sun is high, it can be especially striking, though no particular beam is guaranteed.

What Kin Ha asks of you.
Certification is only part of it. Depth alone doesn't make a cenote easy or hard — passage size, light, distance from the entrance and fragile formations matter too.
