Diving the Cenotes

A day of cenote diving with Pixel Expeditions is designed to be both exciting and seamless. We keep groups small — never more than four divers per guide — to ensure personal attention, safety, and the chance to explore at your pace.

Your adventure begins with pick-up from your accommodation around 8:30am, though we can adjust to fit your schedule. Within 10 to 30 minutes, you’ll arrive at one of the region’s incredible cenotes. Before diving, your expert guide (all full cave-certified instructors) will give a detailed briefing, covering geology, ecology, and safe cavern diving techniques. Each cenote has its own personality, and you’ll get a site-specific overview before slipping into the water.

Most cenote dive trips include two tanks, giving you the chance to experience different environments in a single day. Some cenotes are shallow and richly decorated, while others are vast sinkholes with eerie gas clouds, dramatic rock structures, and beams of light piercing through the depths. Whatever your preference, Pixel Expeditions will tailor the day to your experience and curiosity.

Water temperatures hover around 77°F (25°C) year-round. While that sounds warm, after 45 minutes underwater you may start to feel chilly so we recommend a 5mm wetsuit, though many guides wear thicker suits or even drysuits.

The cenotes aren’t just dives; they’re a journey into another world, guided by professionals who are as passionate about safety as they are about sharing these wonders.
