The Riviera Maya, Mexico boasts the largest interconnected cenote system in the Americas with more than 300 miles of passageways. These underground taverns or sink holes house deep wells of fresh water and are covered with stalactites and stalagmite, and there are over 3000 of them in the Yucatan Peninsula, though only a few that are accessible by visitors.

Cenote dives in the Riviera Maya are suitable for recreational divers as they include “cavern-designated” areas within the caves systems, with divers never more than 200 linear feet from the surface. All cenote dives are conducted by cave certified guides, who follow strictly all cavern-diving procedures

Barrakuda Scuba Mexico offers Riviera Maya cenote diving as well as near reef diving for guests staying at the Occidental Grand Xcaret and the Allegro Playacar.

Guests of the Allegro Cozumel also have an opportunity leave the island for a mainland excursion and two tank cenote dive conducted by the staff of Pro Dive Mexico.
