- Formations · Delicate cavern · Control
- CDT dive profile
- Approx. 10 m / 33 ft
- Requirements
- Advanced Open Water or equivalent
- Precise buoyancy, body position and controlled movement are important around the formations.
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
Space to look, not to rush.
Taak Bi Lum opens into a large underground chamber with dim natural light and large limestone formations. It feels spacious and quiet, and the dive is best done slowly.
The environment is sensitive. Moving through it well means steady buoyancy, a controlled body position, deliberate finning and awareness of your equipment, so formations and sediment stay undisturbed.

What Taak Bi Lum 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.
CREER level
Level 04Expert
- Why this level
- Longer distance from the entrance · Fragile · Dark · Deep
- Expert is not only about depth. Not every Level 04 site shares each characteristic equally.
CDT requirements
- Advanced Open Water or equivalent
- Diving within the previous 6 months (otherwise a refresher dive at Casa Cenote may be recommended or required)
- A prior dive with CDT at Casa Cenote or another suitable lower-level cenote, so your guide can see your buoyancy, control and comfort first
Minimum age 15. Level per the CREER classification framework, used as a reference — not a progression you must complete in order.
The CREER level describes the site's relative character and difficulty; it is not a progression you must complete in order. Within CDT's requirements, your guide also considers recent experience, buoyancy and control, comfort, the day's conditions and the planned profile.
CDT asks for a prior dive with CDT before Taak Bi Lum so your guide can understand your control and comfort first — a safety and conservation step, not a test.
