A cavern is the open area at the entrance of a cave where sunlight is still visible. Unlike open-water diving, cavern diving takes place beneath a rock ceiling, so divers cannot swim directly to the surface.
For safety, dives stay within the daylight zone, no deeper than 21 meters (70 feet) and no more than 60 meters (200 feet) from the entrance. Divers also remain in wide, open areas and avoid narrow passages or restrictions.
A permanent guideline marks the route in and out of the cavern. Divers follow it throughout the dive, while carrying a primary light and a backup light. The main light must remain on during the entire experience.
With an experienced guide, cavern diving is safe and enjoyable for beginners. The cenotes visited with the Tulum Dive Center are prepared for novice divers, allowing them to explore these incredible environments without specialized cave-diving training.

Yes. Dives in the underwater sections of the cenotes must be accompanied by a locally registered guide.
Because the cenotes are privately owned, only approved guides who meet the required qualifications are permitted to lead dives. Cenote diving is not allowed without the supervision of a certified Full Cave Diver.
Please help protect these unique environments by respecting the rules and leaving the cenotes preserved for future generations.
