What is the depth of cenotes in Mexico ?

The cenotes of Mexico fascinate with their beauty, but also with their often little-known depth. While some are only a few meters deep, others plunge to more than 100 meters, like the famous cenote The Pit, one of the deepest in the Riviera Maya. Their formation is the result of thousands of years of limestone erosion, creating cavities that gradually expand before collapsing and filling with water. The structure of a cenote depends on the type of collapse, the evolution of underground passages, and even the mixing of freshwater and saltwater, which creates unique visual effects such as the halocline. These characteristics explain why some cenotes are accessible to the general public, while others are reserved for technical divers. Cenote diving requires perfect control of buoyancy, equipment, and safety procedures, as the environment is enclosed, sometimes dark, and leaves no margin for error. Despite this, many sites remain accessible from the Open Water level, offering an unmatched experience to divers from around the world.
