Why diving in cenotes is one of the best experiences?

Cenotes are only found in this part of the world, and this is due to the fact that the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago impacted the Yucatan Peninsula, giving rise to the formation of underground rivers with totally crystal clear water.

In addition, the magical world of cenotes offers us to observe incredible ancient formations, such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and various speleothems that will make you feel like you are on another planet!

Fossilized corals and animals give this experience a unique archaeological setting.

The ultraviolet rays of the sun penetrate the entrances of the cave, forming amazing light effects on the water!

As if all this were not enough, the Mayans gave this experience a highly mystical and magical context.

Absolutely fantastic diving experience. Instructors were amazing. We dove with Ramiro the first day at the ship wreck in PM and the 2nd day in Cozumel. We dove with Isaac the 3rd day in 2 Cenotes. I would highly recommend both instructors. Thank you Scuba Public and we will see you again for more diving soon.
Isaac was amazing and the cenotes were beautiful!

We have only dived open water and never a cenote. Our guide, Isaac, was an absolute blast to work with and you could tell he really cared about us and the dive experience. We will be using him again.
Marvellous

A really good, small and well organised company. Helpful and knowledgeable people with carefully maintained gear. The reef is huge and the cenotes offer amazing diving. I have 90 logged dives and have never dived with a company more focussed on safety. Forget diving in Cancun and head to Puerto Morelos.
Amazing day diving a cenote…

Amazing day of diving. I wasn’t sure what to expect diving a cenote for the first time but it far exceeded my expectations. Everyone at Scuba Public was great to work with from booking to diving. Top notch crew and I will be back!
