Cenote The Pit + Nicte Ha – 2 incredible Dives

Cenote Nicte Ha

Cenote Nicte Ha (formerly and also known as ‘High Voltage’) is located in the same park as Dos Ojos and The Pit.
As a shallow but advanced dive, it is perfect for experienced divers who find interest in lots of water lilies,
light rays, and a little narrower passages, challenged by a decent flow throughout the cavern.

Only experienced divers with excellent buoyancy control and anti-silting propulsion techniques can enjoy this dive to the fullest.
The maximum depth for this dive is 8.5 meters and there are various formations to enjoy and admire.

Cenote The Pit

This Cenote is found a little bit further into the jungle, and it lives up to its name.
It’s located in the Dos Ojos Park and takes us approximately 40 minutes to get to from Playa del Carmen.
The Pit is much deeper than the average Cenotes in the area.

A magnificent hydrogen-sulfite cloud can be found at around 30 mts depth, and its small entry allows a mighty spectacle as the dazzling sunbeams pierce the crystal clear water to complete the scene on sunny days.

At around 30 meters is our maximum depth for this dive, we will see lots of rock formations, incredibly huge speleothems frozen in time, and a small debris island growing out of the smoke-like cloud at depth.

We will ascend circling the Pit, and enjoy the different views, and make a safety stop before ending the dive.

Further Info on SCUBA Diving in Cenotes Pit + Cenote Nicte Ha

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 The Pit.
This is due to its absolute maximum depth.
Nitrox/Enriched Air certified divers will be provided Nitrox 32% for free.
