Why dive here
With 417+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Escalones offers some of Yucatán Cenotes's richest diving.
Escalones offers a classic cenote experience, with impressive light beams piercing the darkness on sunny days. You'll navigate through a series of cavern steps, hence the name, revealing stalactites and stalagmites in the clear freshwater. It’s a good choice for divers looking for a relatively straightforward cavern dive with good visibility. Bring a torch; the deeper sections get pretty dark.
