FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When do the light beams look best?
The higher the sun, the more vertical and defined the light columns. Mid-morning departures usually give the best photographic result.
Is it suitable as my first cenote?
Yes. 7 Bocas and La Maravilla are Open Water accessible and less demanding than The Pit or Zapote. Along with Dos Ojos, one of the best places to start.
Is transport included?
This trip departs from Cancun or the Riviera Maya. Ask us about the meeting point and hotel pick-up options when you book.

“Excellent experience! Rene is a brilliant guide — you can tell he loves what he does and passes on his passion for the sea and marine life at every moment. His instructions and dive plan before every dive make you feel safe and let you enjoy the flora and fauna even more. Highly recommended, I already want to plan new dive trips!”
