Dive-site story
Situated along the Zapata Peninsula between Playa Larga and Playa Girón, this natural cenote occupies a deep limestone fracture surrounded by tropical coastal woodland. Divers descend into a tranquil sinkhole where vertical rock walls drop into darkness beneath a distinct halocline. Sunbeams pierce the calm surface pool, illuminating submerged roots and craggy overhangs before fading toward cavern passages.
Steep limestone walls descending into deep karst fissures
Noticeable halocline where freshwater runoff meets deep seawater intrusion
Overhead cavern zones lit by dramatic light beams from the jungle canopy

Seasonality
