The caves
Under the jungle of Quintana Roo lies one of the largest networks of flooded caves in the world, and much of it is within reach of Playa del Carmen. The limestone passages hold formations that took thousands of years to grow, water so clear it disappears, and the haloclines where fresh and salt water meet.
We have access to a wide variety of cave systems in the region, each with its own character. Which one we dive, and how far, depends on your experience, your interests and the conditions on the day, so every plan starts with a conversation about what you want to see.
Cave or cavern
Most divers who come to us dive the cenotes as cavern divers: guided routes that stay within the daylight zone, with a maximum of four divers per guide, open to Open Water and Advanced divers. Those are on the cenote diving in Playa del Carmen page.
Cave diving goes beyond the daylight zone into the overhead environment, where the guideline is the way home. It is technical diving and it needs a full cave certification; we keep that line clear in every booking.
How it runs
The plan always follows the conditions: if something is not right on the day, we change the dive or move it.
Who it is for
Certified cave divers who want to see the caves of the Riviera Maya with someone who dives them. Tell us your certification and experience when you book and we plan dives that fit, whether that is your first time in these systems or a return trip with a particular goal.
Not cave certified yet? Start with our guided cavern routes, and read how to become a cave diver in Mexico for the path from cavern to full cave.
The caves are unforgiving and irreplaceable. Every dive is planned carefully and customised to the divers in it, the plan is agreed before anyone gets in the water, and we leave the formations exactly as we found them.
