Diving Cenote Dos Ojos, Riviera Maya
5.0★ · 242 Google reviewsDos Ojos is the cenote that shows up in every documentary, and for good reason. Two entrances connected by a cavern system where the water is so clear it feels like floating in air. Light beams cut through the rock, stalactites hang centimetres above your head and visibility passes forty metres. It is the best cenote for your first time.
What makes this dive different
- The most iconic cenote in the Riviera Maya — ideal for your first
- Visibility over 40 metres and fresh water at ~25 °C year-round
- Wide caverns with stalactites, stalagmites and light beams
- Cavern diving: always within natural light, with a specialist guide
- Hotel pick-up, entrance fees and permits included

“I did the Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses and it was an excellent decision. The service was great, my guide Rene was incredible — always attentive and giving me techniques to build confidence underwater. The most exciting part was diving with bull sharks and dolphins!”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is cenote diving dangerous?
We dive the cavern zone, not cave: always within sight of natural light, with a permanent guideline and a specialist guide. It is a very controlled environment and probably the best-visibility dive you will ever do.
Is the cenote cold?
The water sits around 25 °C year-round. We use 3 mm wetsuits, enough for two dives. If you feel the cold, tell us and we will adjust the thickness.
What is the difference between cavern and cave?
Cavern diving always keeps natural light in view and follows a guideline — that is what we do, and it is accessible with an Open Water certification. Cave diving is technical, in total darkness, and requires specific training.
How deep is the diving at Cenote Dos Ojos?
Between 7 and 9 metres. It is a very comfortable profile that allows long bottom times and plenty of natural light, and it is one of the reasons Dos Ojos is the best cenote for a first cavern dive.
