Mayan Underworld 🌿: Best Cavern Diving in the world? 

In this short documentary, we’re exploring the secrets of the Mayan Underworld, taking you on an exciting underwater diving adventure through mysterious caverns and cenotes on the lookout for the lost city of Atlantis!
The cenotes are THE natural highlight of the Yucatan Peninsula 💦🌿. There’s a tiny opening in the jungle floor, a steep staircase leading down into the underground. And as soon as your eyes have adapted to the darkness, you won’t believe them 👀.
The cenotes are natural sinkholes formed by collapsed cave ceilings, exposing water underneath. As the only freshwater stock in the area, they’re an important source of life for plants and animals 🐟🐊. And for the Mayans, they were the entrance to the underworld 💀.
The water here is so clear, that you don’t even see that there’s water at all 💦. That’s because it accumulated here after leaking through the jungle floor drop by drop. An experience for every diver’s bucket list 🙃!
And all of this makes them really special and very exciting to explore - above and below the surface.
If you’re looking for passionate and experienced dive guides for Yucatan’s cenotes, we can highly recommend Anne-Laure and Arthur from Elite Divers International.
