Why dive here
With 417+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Cenote Azul offers some of Yucatán Cenotes's richest cenote diving.
Cenote Azul is a shallow, open-air cenote, mostly around 5-10 meters deep. It’s a gentle spot, perfect for newer divers or those looking for an easy, relaxing dip rather than a deep penetration cave dive. You'll find yourself drifting amongst schools of small fish and the occasional freshwater turtle, with plenty of light filtering through the overhead trees. It’s a great option if you want to experience the cenote environment without venturing into the darker, tighter passages.
