Days and Days of Cenotes

Since 2011, I have been wanting to journey back to Mexico to explore far more of the cenote system there. In 2011, Tiny and I did two dives while there and I was really taken by the history, formations and mystery of the system. You quickly realize how breathtakingly beautiful they are and depending on time of day or even year depends on how the light beams reflect through the caverns.

This trip I hired a guide to take me around privately so I could make the most of my time. They didn’t disappoint. Exploring only a tiny fraction of the system during my time there, I managed six dives in four different entrance points.

At the bottom, there’s some cool videos, including one of going in and out of the halocline layers in the system, basically checking out the changing levels of salinity. It could be super disorienting at times but the warmer water was very welcomed as the water is much cooler in the systems than I had remembered.
