Cenote Jardín del Edén Diving: Refresher and Cavern Dive in One Day

Any questions? Contact us.

Cenote Jardín del Edén

Haven’t been diving in a while? Cenote Jardín del Edén is the perfect place to ease back into it before heading into the cavern.

This large open-air cenote, also known as Cenote Eden or Ponderosa, lies just past Puerto Aventuras, about 25 km (15 miles) south of Playa del Carmen. Its crystal-clear turquoise water, fish and light beams make it one of the most beautiful cenotes in the Riviera Maya.

The day starts with a refresher in the open area, no deeper than 6 m (20 ft): with your instructor, you go over the key skills at your own pace. Then you head into the cavern for a second dive, down to 15-16 m (50 ft), where you pass through one of the most beautiful haloclines in the Riviera Maya.
