Explore two freshwater cenote sessions near Tulum with a small group, equipment, transport, snacks, and expert guidance for certified divers.

“This would have been my 13th dive, open-certified but I failed to meet the expectations of the guide (which is fine) for the caves in Dos Ojos. He was incredibly rude to me, biased against women and I literally couldn’t stand his presence so decided against continuing with the dive, partly to appease him and mostly to relieve myself of his presence—what a backward customer experience! He reiterated over and over again to the group that “we’re adults”, “we’re divers” and can do what we want which made NO sense to me. We were relying on him as a guide and frankly, as a good human, to advise open-water divers…”

“Don't miss it! Small dive company, personalized attention, and incredible views and experience! Really special to dive in a Cenote and especially then pop up in a "bat cave" after swimming underground tunnels with flashlights. All gear provided, showers at Cenote site were a plus. It was a bit tiring to carry all gear down steps from the parking area twice, but if you're in okay shape, should be fine. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.”

“This tour was excellent. An unforgettable way to experience our first Cenote on the Yucatan. We were staying in Cancun, and the Uber to Tulum was easy; 2 hours. We spent the morning and early afternoon on the tour; budget the day and let yourself enjoy it fully. Flying Fish Tulum and Mario were fantastic. The shop is easy and not a tourist trap, I wouldn't hesitate to call them direct. Patient, professional, and genuinely kind. The gear was in great condition. Mario did a very good job on the training and safety. He was detailed without being dull and perfect for first-timers. Casa itself is breathtaking. The water looks…”

“The dive spot was more like a cave than a wide open lagoon. It was a bit scary. My dive instructor seemed annoyed each time I would let him know I was afraid. He wasn't the greatest to be with, which did not make the dive very fun.”
