CENOTE CAVERN DIVE QUESTIONS

What is the difference between cavern diving and cave diving?
Cavern diving is defined as any dive conducted within the light zone of a cave. Cave diving is any dive conducted beyond the light zone of a cave. The light zone of a cave is defined as that part of the cave from which natural light illuminating the entrance is visible at all times."
Also according to PADI "penetration dives are limited to within the light zone and within 40 meters / 130 feet from the surface, vertical and horizontal distance included."
The cenotes or caverns near Cancun do meet the PADI standard.


We are beginners is a cenotes cavern dive for us?
Absolutely yes! A cenote cavern dive here in the Yucatan will be one of the highlights of your diving experiences. You will not forget it. Imagine going in a cavern with stalagmites and stalactites but you are in crystal clear water.

When doing the cenotes diving do you use lines and reels?
There are permanent lines in place in the caverns. You will not need additional lines or reels.

Are diving lights supplied (or would we need to bring our own)?
Dive lights and all equipment (mask fins, snorkel, BC, tank, weights, wet suit) are provided, but feel free to bring as much of your own gear as you desire.

Can a snorkeler go too?
Since the water is clear as air, snorkeleres will also have a great time and any non-divers in you group are encouraged to go on this once in a lifetime trip. See the price above for snorkelers.
All equipment is included for snorkelers too.
