Scuba Diving the Mystical Cenotes in Mexico

It is here in the cenotes, majestic underwater caverns, where the natural underground fresh water and the salt water of the sea meet. Get a rare and exclusive look at the cenotes, wondrous underwater caverns of the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. Filmed in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico and the surrounding areas.

A cenote is a natural pit resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. Within many are natural formations dangling majestically from the ceiling, stalactites, and penetrating up from the floor below, stalagmites. Each took over 100,000 years to form so it is very important to be careful and respectful to not touch them as a simple touch could cause them to perish.
