Why dive here
With 417+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Cenote Chan Hol offers some of Yucatán Cenotes's richest muck diving.
We really like Chan Hol for a taste of serious cave diving without the serious depth. It’s part of the Toh Ha system, and while the human remains are long gone to labs, the feeling of discovery lingers. You’re typically dropping into about 11 metres of water, often with visibility stretching 30 metres or more, which makes navigating the formations less stressful. Look for those tiny blind cave fish flitting in the shadows, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch the glint of a sheepshead minnow near the light zone. It’s a quiet, contemplative dive, definitely one for divers keen on the geological side of things, and maybe those who enjoy a bit of history with their nitrogen.
