A cavern dive follows a fixed guideline through the part of the system that daylight still reaches, at recreational depths and with a certified cenote guide leading a group of four at most. You see stalactites and stalagmites, columns, light beams, haloclines where fresh and salt water meet, and in places the fossils in the rock.<\/p>\n<p>Cave diving goes past the daylight zone into the systems themselves and needs a full cave certification, technical equipment and its own planning.

El Pit, Angelita and Zapote reach 30 metres and need Advanced Open Water or equivalent. Dreamgate also asks for excellent buoyancy because the formations are close on every side.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>What does a cenote dive cost?<\/h3>\n<p>3,000 to 3,800 MXN per diver for two guided dives, with transport from Playa del Carmen, tanks, weights and equipment. The cenote entrance fee is confirmed when you book and the camera fee is paid on site.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>Is there a camera fee?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Most cenote landowners charge 300 to 500 MXN for cameras, GoPros included, paid at the entrance. The money goes to the local community that maintains the site.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>How cold is the water?<\/h3>\n<p>24 to 26\u00b0C all year, because the cenotes are fed by rain water that has filtered through limestone. Wetsuits are part of the equipment we bring, and most divers are comfortable in a 5 mm suit for two dives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>How many divers per guide?<\/h3>\n<p>Four at most. The guide leads on a fixed line, you stay in the daylight zone, and there is nobody waiting behind you at the narrow points.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>Cavern or cave, what is the difference?<\/h3>\n<p>Cavern diving stays where natural light reaches, on a guideline, within recreational limits, and is open to certified recreational divers with a cenote guide. Cave diving goes beyond the light zone and needs a full cave certification and technical equipment. We offer both; see the cave diving page for certified cave divers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>Do you pick me up?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, for hotels in Playacar and downtown Playa del Carmen.
