About this dive site

Casa Cenote is a beautiful estuary located just 15 minutes from Tulum, Mexico. It represents the mouth of one of the main underwater rivers, its final stage situated right next to the sea. The site features an incredible mangrove brakish ecosystem, offering a unique diving experience. Due to the nature of this environment and potential for challenging conditions, it’s important to acknowledge that dives here may require advanced skills and experience beyond basic certification. This could include expertise in deeper diving, wreck exploration, or cave/cavern diving – even technical diving might be necessary. Always prioritize safety and dive within your capabilities.
