This experience will suit certified divers who love small-group adventures, stunning underwater sights, and learning from knowledgeable guides.

The Location and What to Expect
Tulum is famous for its dozens of beautiful cenotes and caverns, many of which offer fantastic diving opportunities. The tour visits some of the most popular, like Cenote Dos Ojos, along with others such as Casa Cenote and Gran Cenote, depending on your skill level and preferences. The experience is designed to give you a taste of the unique underwater environment that makes the Yucatan Peninsula a diving hotspot.
From the moment you meet at the Agua Clara Diving Tulum shop, you’ll notice the emphasis on safety and preparation. The first step is trying on all the included equipment, ensuring everything fits correctly — no one wants a loose mask or uncomfortable fins underwater. As several reviewers mention, “the equipment is very important,” and the guides make sure you’re comfortable before entering.
The Transport and Logistics
Transport is straightforward: you’ll be driven from the meeting point in Tulum to the cenote sites, which helps eliminate the stress of navigating unfamiliar roads. The meeting point is convenient, located at Carretera Tulum-Boca aila km 5, and the tour starts at 8:30 am. This timing allows for a full morning of diving while still leaving your afternoon free for other adventures or relaxation.
The Diving Itself
Once at the cenote, your guide will give a briefing about safety protocols and what to expect underwater. For many, this is the highlight: rock formations, stalactites, stalagmites, and columns create an alien landscape that’s breathtaking even from above the water. As one reviewer puts it, “the views from down under are amazing to look at,” and the environment by itself will leave you in awe.
Each dive lasts roughly 40-45 minutes, giving you plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. The guides are attentive, ensuring your comfort and safety—”Julio was especially attentive, helpful, and patient,” says a satisfied diver. Several reviewers appreciated guides like Adiel and Leo, noting their expertise and friendly demeanor.
Post-Dive Breaks and Meals
After the first dive, you’ll get a little break for snacks, refreshments, and lunch, which is included in the tour. This is appreciated — it offers a chance to discuss the underwater sights, swap stories, and recharge before the second dive. The relaxed pace helps prevent fatigue and keeps the experience enjoyable.

Why This Tour Offers Great Value

Without worrying about extra costs or logistics, you get to focus solely on the thrill of exploring underwater caves. The small-group size makes a tremendous difference—many reviews emphasize how it enhances safety and allows for more detailed guidance.
On top of that, the reviews consistently praise the knowledgeable guides. For example, one diver mentioned, “Alberto was an AMAZING dive master and guide! His experience, knowledge, and friendly demeanor made the trip so enjoyable.” Such personalized attention enriches the experience, especially in the sometimes intimidating environment of cenote cavern diving.
The Authentic Experience
Travelers frequently remark on how beautiful and surreal the environments are, with some describing the views as “amazing” and “like looking at another world.” The fact that the water is fresh and crystal clear adds to the sensory delight, and the environment is safe for certified divers with moderate physical fitness.

While the tour offers excellent value and a memorable experience, it’s important to note that entrance fees are not included. These vary depending on the cenote, so budget accordingly. Also, you need to be certified; this tour isn’t suitable for beginners or snorkelers.
