Cenote Diving | What is a Cenote?



Playa del Carmen is the perfect base camp for your cave and cavern diving adventures. Many of the most famous waterfilled caves in the world are located right next door. Within twenty minutes drive time you can be rolling down the entrance path to an underwater world of impossible beauty unparalleled.



Of course, cavern and cave diving are sports that are very demanding on proper training and equipment, and no one should attempt them without this training, and proper experience. At DiveMike we can take care of all your training needs, ground support and all aspects of your equipment needs while in the area. You'll want to take advantage of the clear and warm Caribbean, too!

If you've never tried diving in underground cave systems, you can still go on a guided cavern tour.
