Playa del Carmen is the ultimate location to
initiate as cavern diver, become a professional cave
diver, or simply submerge in the vastness and
tranquility of the Cenotes or sacred wells,
along the jungle in the Riviera Maya.
Cenotes. The Yucatan Peninsula
is famous for its unique underground conditions. Its
limestone soil has percolated rain water over millions
of years to give place to the world’s longest
underground river systems. Parts of the surface land
have collapsed over the years creating sinkholes
called Cenotes (from the Maya Dzonot, sacred
well), windows into this amazing underground world.
Underground river systems. For
the past three decades, Cenotes have been explored and
river systems have been mapped by cave divers, and
still, exploration continues. Literally hundreds of
miles of underground rivers spread along the entire
Peninsula. Over thousands of years, the dissolved
limestone formed amazing speleotherms or mineral
deposits, more commonly known as stalactites,
stalagmites and columns. The world’s longest
underground river systems are located along the
Riviera Maya.
Cavern diving. A cavern is the area of a cave
reached by natural daylight and is no further than 200
linear ft from the next opening. Caverns are usually
broad, cathedral-like vaults submerged in crystalline
waters, where you can dive
through sunbeams that illuminate amazing stalactite
and stalagmite rock formations.
Cavern diving can be a
safe and unique experience for divers of all levels of
expertise. In Mexico Blue Dream we offer you all the
training, experience, and safety standards to guide you through these spectacular underwater worlds. Choose from our
training packages and
diving tours for the
best program for you.
Cave diving. There is no place
in the world like Playa del Carmen and
the Riviera Maya for cave diving.
There are hundreds of miles of caves of all sizes,
shapes and depths, and explorations continue! Caves
are the areas of these underground systems away from
the reach of daylight: the guts of the earth. Cave
diving is comparable to nothing, but only properly
trained divers should practice it. In Mexico Blue
Dream we accompany you step by step in your training,
sharing our passion and experience in the area to help
you become a full cave diver. Check our
training packages and
dare explore this alluring world.
