From Cancun & Riviera Maya: First-Time & Beginner Cenote Private Diving in Tulum

6 hours

Join our private diving tour to an open cenote near Tulum that is perfect for both complete newbies and amateur divers who wanna refresh their skills. First, receive a safety & diving theory briefing onshore. Afterward, put your knowledge into action first in shallow water, then in a 40-minute cenote dive under the careful supervision of your SSI-certified instructor. Optional upgrades include an additional reef dive in the sea or even an official SSI Open Water Diver certification course.

Itinerary

In the morning, meet your guide at your accommodation in Riviera Maya and head to Casa Cenote, also known as Cenote Manati. Ideal for fans of underwater life, this long, narrow cenote is famous for myriads of little (guppies, platys, and mollies) and bigger fish (tarpans particularly) which you can see when swimming between its mangrove roots and rocks. Once there, receive safety & diving theory briefing from an experienced certified instructor onshore. Afterward, once ready and under the supervision of your dive-master, do your first shallow-water submersion to familiarise yourself with this new environment. As soon as you feel comfortable, start exploring the cenote bit by bit (up to 12 m deep, about 30 minutes) under the careful supervision of your instructor. On your dive in cenote's crystal-clear emerald waters, you will explore a series of outstandingly beautiful natural caves hidden in the jungle, see the play of light on the roots of mangrove forest, and huge rocks covered with mosses and green algae that decorate the bottom. This dive will definitely leave you with unique memories.

After a day full of experiences & adventures, return to our vehicle & relax on the way back to your accommodation. End of your "First-Time & Beginner Cenote Private Diving in Tulum".
