Why dive here
With 417+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Cenote Angelita offers some of Yucatán Cenotes's richest cenote diving.
Angelita is all about the halocline, a truly wild experience. You descend through clear fresh water, watching the light rays pierce the surface. Around 30 metres, you hit a thick, milky cloud of hydrogen sulphide, which looks exactly like an underwater river, complete with what appear to be fallen trees reaching up from the murky depths. Dropping below that cloud into the saltwater is like entering another world altogether, dark and eerie. It’s a dive that plays with your senses, perfect for those who appreciate the unusual over typical reef life. We’d suggest strong buoyancy control, as bumping the halocline ruins the effect for everyone.
