Car Wash Cenote Dive (From Riviera Maya)

Discover the enchanting underwater world of Cenote Aktun-Ha, famously known as the Car Wash cenote, located just 8 km from Tulum on the road to Coba. Your adventure begins with an effortless entry, as the water's surface is just inches below ground level, inviting you into a crystal-clear realm with a comfortable temperature of 78°F and a depth of 50 feet. This dive is a journey through a submerged garden, where you'll glide past vibrant water lilies and encounter a rich variety of fauna, including turtles and the occasional small crocodile basking in the serene environment. The true magic of the Car Wash cenote lies in its breathtaking geological formations. As you explore, you'll be surrounded by an impressive gallery of speleothems, from massive stalactites hanging above to intricate stalagmites and columns rising from the cenote floor. This natural museum also holds secrets of the past; keep a keen eye out for ancient pottery and fossils hidden in plain sight, waiting to be discovered by observant divers. Your dive offers two distinct paths: an upstream and a downstream exploration. The more popular upstream route guides you through a surreal landscape of large, chestnut-colored columns and a tangled network of tree roots. Here, you'll witness a spectacular light show as sunbeams penetrate the water through the roots, creating a truly mesmerizing display. During the summer, a natural cloud of algae may form at the surface, but as you descend, the water clears to reveal the stunning visibility and wonders that lie beneath. This all-inclusive experience is designed for certified divers (Open Water or higher) aged 10 and up. We prioritize your safety and enjoyment by maintaining small groups of no more than four divers per English-speaking guide. Because this cenote is a popular training site, there is no permanent guideline; your expert guide will place and remove one for your dive. We provide all necessary scuba equipment, including tanks, lamps, and underwater flashlights, along with bottled water, breakfast, and lunch to keep you energized. Your 9-hour excursion includes seamless transportation for a stress-free day. We handle your transport from our facility to the cenote and provide a convenient drop-off at your hotel within the Cancun hotel zone. Pickups are scheduled based on your location, beginning at 7:00 AM for guests in Playa del Carmen, 7:30 AM at the Playa del Carmen ferry pier for those coming from Cozumel, and 8:00 AM for accommodations throughout the Riviera Maya.
