Cenote Carwash + Cenote Angelita – 2 Breathtaking Dives

Cenote Carwash

Cenote Carwash is located some 10 minutes from Tulum Centre, very close to the road, which is why it’s called Carwash.
Years ago, this cenote was actually used by the local taxi drivers, to wash their cars!

It’s location, with a big open area and a high water level made it perfect. Nowadays nobody cleans their cars here anymore!
The waterlilies growing here make this place unique, and seasonally you can experience the tannic-water layer which creates an amazing array of colors.
The dive leads through the open area as well as the cavern-zone with lots of speleothems, some small bones and pottery to admire to a maximum depth of 15 meters.

The unique view from inside the cavern towards the entry is something that burns into every divers mind once experienced.
The open water section of Cenote Carwash is decorated by beautiful and colorful water lilies, inhabited by several different species of fish and some turtles.

Cenote Angelita

This dive-site is a pit-like open Cenote with a huge surface in the middle of the jungle, south of Tulum.
At around 30 meters in depth you’ll find the impressive hydrogen-sulfide layer with a small island of organic debris and haunting trees reaching out of the smoke-like layer below.
Dropping down and seeing the view emerge from the depths and the curious light-play are something very special here, making many divers describe this Cenote as one of their favourite dives.

Our maximum dive depth here is 30 meters and we will slowly ascend during the dive circling around the walls of Cenote Angelita, admiring some speleothems and enjoying the unique athmosphere during this dive.
Towards the end of the dive we will do a safety-stop before finally coming back to the surface.

This is an advanced Cenote diving combination, and local rules require recreational divers to have dived two less advanced Cenotes prior to diving in Cenote Angelita.
This is due to its absolute maximum depth.
