As a dive center based in Playa del Carmen, we often get asked which cenotes are the most exciting and beautiful for certified divers visiting the Riviera Maya.

These are our top 3 picks:

1. Dos Ojos – Perfect for beginners and photographers, with crystal-clear water and light-filled passages.

2. Dreamgate – A more advanced site, full of delicate formations and halocline effects. Ideal for experienced divers.

3. El Pit – Deep, dramatic and stunning, with vertical light beams and a sulphur cloud around 30m.

Want to know more about diving in cenotes or getting cave certified? We’re happy to help!
