Dual Exploration at Kukulkan and Little Brother Cenotes
Kukulkan Cenote
Named after the Mayan god of the underworld, the Kukulkan cenote offers an open, mystical and fascinating diving experience. With a maximum depth of 14 meters (46 feet), this dive begins in an area of open water bathed in sunlight, allowing you to observe fish, turtles and a rich biodiversity in its crystalline environment.
As you progress, you enter a dense halocline where fresh and salt water mingle, creating an undulating and almost hypnotic visual effect. This transition marks the entrance to more cavernous areas, where limestone rock formations begin to envelop the diver, heralding the connection to the mysterious underworld. Kukulkan combines clarity, natural beauty and an ideal first step for divers who wish to explore caverns without losing the visual connection to the surface.
Little Brother Cenote (Chac Mool)
The second dive begins at the Little Brother cenote, the true entry point to the system known as Chac Mool. This tour takes you through gently decorated tunnels until you reach a hidden air dome, where you can surface, remove your regulator and observe the natural vault illuminated from the inside.
In this section, the walls are adorned with crystals and delicate formations, creating a shimmering, almost ethereal environment. The play of natural light, the textures of the rock and the silence of the surroundings make this dive an introspective, immersive and visually stunning experience. Although the depth does not exceed 14 meters (46 feet), the cavernous nature of the system requires controlled buoyancy and good awareness of the surroundings.
Both dives take place in the same park, with minimal transfers between entry points. It is an ideal combination for certified divers who wish to explore two different facets of the Mayan underworld in one day: the openness and light of Kukulkan, and the magical darkness of Little Brother.

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.

5. Second Dive – Little Brother Cenote (Chac Mool)
Maximum depth: 14 meters (46 feet)
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.
