Car Wash Cenote Dive (From Cancun)

Discover the magic of the Car Wash cenote, also known as Aktun-Ha, on an unforgettable dive experience just outside Tulum. This unique cenote is teeming with life, surrounded by rich flora and fauna. Picture yourself floating among delicate water lilies as you spot turtles and even the occasional small crocodile in their natural habitat. Your entry into this underwater world is remarkably easy, with the water level just inches below the ground, inviting you into its comfortable 78°F embrace to a depth of 50 feet. Your adventure offers the unique opportunity to experience both upstream and downstream dives. The popular upstream route is a visual spectacle, leading you through a submerged path of roots and fallen trees where fascinating light penetrates from above. You'll navigate past large, chestnut-colored columns and an impressive display of speleothems like stalactites and stalagmites. If you look closely, you may even spot ancient pottery and fossils. During summer months, an algae cloud from decomposing plants may form at the surface, but the water clears beautifully as you descend to reveal the amazing views below. Your safety and a quality experience are our top priorities. Because this cenote is used for cavern and cave diving training, there is no permanent guideline; your expert English-speaking guide will place and remove one specifically for your dive. We ensure a personalized tour by limiting groups to a maximum of four divers per instructor. This 9-hour excursion is for certified Open Water divers (or higher) aged 10 and up and includes all scuba equipment, tanks, lamps, flashlights, bottled water, breakfast, and lunch. Your day begins with a 6:00 AM pickup at our facility, and we provide convenient drop-off at your hotel within the Cancun hotel zone after your dive.
