- Approx. 8–10 m / 26–33 ft
- Requirements
- Advanced Open Water or equivalent
- Careful buoyancy and controlled finning matter more here than depth.
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
Shallow, clear and easy to disturb.
Nicte Ha pairs lily gardens and natural light near the surface with cavern sections under the rock. The water is very clear and the profile stays shallow.
Its Level 03 classification comes from the environment, not depth. Keeping it clear asks for steady buoyancy, controlled finning, a good body position and attention to the delicate setting around you.

What Nicte 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.
