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.
Cenote Angelita, about a 20-minute drive south of Tulum, offers something genuinely different. You descend into a freshwater cavern, then hit a spooky hydrogen sulfide cloud around 30 meters down. It looks like an underwater river, complete with what appears to be trees poking out of its banks – really just fallen branches on the cloud itself. We’ve seen a few small freshwater fish darting around, but the real draw here is the geological oddity. It’s a compelling dive for advanced divers comfortable with deep, dark environments; definitely one to log if you’re looking for a unique photo opportunity.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
