A Cenote Adventure in the Heart of the Yucatán

Dive into the Yucatáns deep cenotes during Mexico's biggest holiday: Day of the Dead. 

The Accommodation: Stay in an epic, early 1900s colonial style villa with high ceilings, 3 lounge rooms, a courtyard with pool, shared and private bedrooms, located in the heart of the city of Mérida. This villa is a vibe, and makes the trip THAT much more special.

The food: "Taz, you undersold the food. That could have been the whole trip" - Previous trips' divers commented.

We enjoy a light breakfast in the villa, and after our dives we have Mayan villagers home-make tortillas, tacos, empanadas, and all other classic Mexican favourites right there in their home kitchens. It doesn't get more authentic than this.

For dinners, we will walk in the city to a variety of quality restaurants to try various cuisines each night. Think seafood, Italian, Mexican: Whatever our hearts (or stomachs) desire.

The dives: are nothing short of extraordinary. The Cenotes are much different from Tulum. The Ring of Cenotes is a ~180-km-diameter semicircular belt of thousands of interconnected sinkholes in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Formed over the rim of the buried Chicxulub asteroid impact crater (That decimated the dinosaurs.) Find human and animal skeletons, dive in the deepest cenote in the world, and feel less claustrophobic as the caverns are huge and spacious inside. Light beams often beam down the center of each sinkhole.

The Day of the Dead: The theme that ties the trip together. This is a holiday to celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed on. Parades filled with people, dogs, trucks and floats that are vibrantly painted or decorated with flowers and colours, and people dressed up and painted to look like beautiful skeletons. It is a heart touching party to witness and be a part of front row and center.

This trip is more than just diving—it’s a journey into the heart of ancient rituals, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable cultural moments.

We will arrive this day, get to know each other and your accommodation for the week. This day dinner is included at the house! Welcome presentation when everyone has arrived. 

Each day enjoy 2 dives to some of the most unique cenotes around the Yucatan. Quite literally, you're gonna see them all. Witness epic light beams, and ancient bones, evidence of life that existed before our time. Stop for a local mayan lunch made by the villagers who live in close proximity to the cenotes for the most cultural part of the day. 

The Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos in spanish) Is a day to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. It's not meant to be a sad day, the focus is on celebrating their lives where families share stories, music and food, decorating the streets and alters they make with bright colors. It's a way to feel close to them and keep their memory alive with love and happiness. 

We will venture to the city center to witness the parades and festivals with people dressed as skeletons and perform traditional dances and music. 

After our last dive of the trip, you have the option to finish the day off with a peak into history of the Mayan people and their ancient city of Uxmal. Similar to the famous Chichen Itza, this is the lesser known archeological site holding the same if not more beautiful ruins.
