Embarking on a dive at Cenote Chac Mool introduces you to a world where natural beauty and underwater serenity come together. Chac Mool is a favorite among divers seeking both adventure and tranquility. Suitable for divers of all experience levels, this cenote features shallow entry points and spacious underwater chambers that promise an unforgettable diving experience.
One of the highlights is the famous air dome, a natural chamber filled with stunning stalactites and containing a breathable pocket of air, creating a surreal and almost otherworldly experience. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with ancient rock formations, creates a breathtaking underwater landscape that captivates anyone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world beneath the surface.
Whether you’re discovering cenote diving for the first time or adding another remarkable site to your logbook, Cenote Chac Mool offers an unforgettable journey into the hidden wonders of Mexico’s underground world.
Your Cenote Chac Mool diving experience takes place over one day, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Important: Please do not fly within 18 hours after diving. Please note: Personal cameras are not permitted inside Cenote Chac Mool. However, professional photographers are available on-site to capture high-quality photos and videos of your experience.

Cenote dives can be suitable for beginners, depending on the cenote. Triton Diving offers introductory cenote dives that are perfect for newly certified divers or those with limited experience. Our experienced instructors give thorough briefings and make sure all safety measures are in place, so beginners feel comfortable. However, some cenote dives require advanced skills because of their depth and complexity.
For a first experience, the beautiful Chac Mool cenote is perfect: it suits all levels and has many of the highlights divers come to see in cenotes.
Message us on WhatsApp with your dates, your level and your group size. Once you pick a date, a short diver form and a $60 deposit per person ($120 if you book several days) confirm your spot. Pay it by Wise, bank transfer or payment link, with no fees; it’s deducted from the price and the balance is paid on site in pesos. Up to 48 hours before, it’s refunded or moved; under 48 hours, it’s kept. If the weather cancels the trip, we reschedule or refund in full.
Yes, except on the Chac Mool and Kukulkan trip, where cameras and GoPros are not allowed: a professional photographer sells photos and videos on site (from 550 MXN per file to 2,200 MXN for a 4-diver package). In the other cenotes, the cenote charges a camera fee, paid on site in cash: 150 to 600 MXN depending on the cenote and the size of the camera. At Dos Ojos, The Pit and Nicte-Ha, a GoPro is free and a camera costs 380 MXN. This fee is not included in the price of the trip.
It’s not mandatory, but we recommend personal dive insurance (DAN or similar).
