Cenote Zapote, often referred to as the “Hell’s Bells” due to its unique bell-shaped underwater formations, is a deep, cylindrical cenote where divers can marvel at the eerie, hydrogen sulfide-rich layer and the spectacular, otherworldly formations that hang like chimes in the shadowy depths.
Cenote Maravilla, aptly named for its marvelous beauty, offers an otherworldly diving experience in its vast, open-air underwater chamber. The sheer scale of this hidden gem, combined with the intricate formations of stalactites and the mystical halo of hydrogen sulfide at deeper levels, provides a majestic backdrop for an unforgettable dive.
Experience the pinnacle of cenote exploration with this exclusive dive trip taking you from the intriguing, bell-shaped stalactites of Zapote to the grand, cathedral-like expanses of Maravilla, offering a journey that spans the mysterious to the magnificent, all while capturing the heart of the Yucatan’s underwater allure.
Your diving experience at Cenotes Zapote and Maravilla takes place over one day, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Warning: do not fly for 18 hours after diving.
