If you think you’ve seen everything, how about a visit to an underwater river?
That’s right, in Cenote Angelita, there is a river that actually exists under the ocean.
Divers say it’s a result of a layer of hydrogen sulfate that separates the salt water from the fresh water an
d creates a river-like effect.
The word “Cenote” is pronounced, say-no-tay and is derived from the Mayan word, “Dzonot” which means sacred well. A combination of various geological events and climate changes created an incredible and unique ecosystem in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
These caves and underground rivers were created naturally over 6,500 years ago. Over the past 20 years, experi
enced scuba divers have explored these caves discovering more than 300 miles of interconnected passageways and caves that make up this amazing one of a kind ecosystem.
These cenotes, only found in this part of the world, offer certified divers the opportunity to explore something different! Discover the tranquil beauty of these pristine windows to the underwater world and experience the dive of your life floating through caverns full of crystal clear water, stalagmites and stalactites.
This dive site is must do for advanced divers who are looking for something a little different. The name means “little angel” in English and there may not be a
better way to describe this magical dive site.
The setting is perfect as you walk a short distance through the jungle to the rather large hidden away cenote. To describe it simply this cenote does nothing else but go straight down 200 feet.
