A Cenote Among the Mangroves

Casa Cenote is an open-air cenote surrounded by mangroves, a different kind of cenote dive where you swim among roots and natural light instead of inside a cavern. Its calm, shallow water, about 8 meters deep, makes it perfect for beginners and for training dives. The mangrove ecosystem is home to fish and turtles, and with some luck you may spot one of the crocodiles that occasionally visit the cenote.
