Where the jungle meets the sea through underground rivers
Discover a completely different cenote diving experience where the jungle meets the sea. Casa Cenote (Cenote Manati) is the only true open-air cenote in the Tulum diving circuit, offering abundant marine life and stunning mangrove scenery unlike any cavern dive. Fresh water flowing from underground rivers creates a unique ecosystem where tropical fish, tarpon, snook, and sometimes sea turtles thrive. With shallow maximum depths of just 8 meters, Casa Cenote delivers relaxed, extended dives perfect for photographers and recently certified divers.
Your Casa Cenote adventure winds through pristine channels bordered by living mangrove roots that filter emerald waters while sunlight dances on sandy bottoms. The unique halocline effect creates visual magic where fresh and saltwater visibly meet, adding another layer of geological wonder. Large tarpon glide gracefully through the cenote while colorful fish schools accompany your exploration. Unlike Dos Ojos and other cavern sites, Casa offers complete natural light throughout your dive and no overhead environment concerns, making it perfect for first-time cenote divers and those preferring open water diving.
Perfect your cenote diving skills at Casa, then challenge yourself with dramatic cavern dives at nearby cenotes. Many divers pair Casa with other Tulum cenotes to experience both open-air paradise and underground cave systems in one day.
