Casa Cenote Diving
Dive Casa Cenote near Tulum, an open-air cenote surrounded by mangroves, with calm, shallow water about 8 meters deep. Ideal for beginners and certification dives, with fish, turtles and the occasional crocodile.
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.
