Bonus dive trip
Cenote Kukul Kan in the Chac Mool system-with us diving!
Even though we had just been on a dive trip, we got an offer from friends to stay in their new place in Cancun. How could we not go?!? It was in a lovely residential area, away from the tourist hotels, but near the Costco!
We ate at several nearby restaurants and walked the neighborhood. We used Cthulhu Divers to see the MUSA underwater museum. Fantastic idea-put hundreds of sculptures underwater so that snorkelers and beginning divers have fun stuff to see easily. The only problem is you are sucking in diesel fumes for the 45 minute boat ride out to the museum. We had a good time and liked our dive master, so had him take us cenote diving the next day.
A cenote is not a cavern, you always see the sky. They are underground rivers, so are generally colder than the ocean. The whole experience blew us away.
So beautiful! You are diving, but it kind of feels like you are hiking.
The lack of waves means the visibility is always amazing on the top layer. Once you drop below the halocline visibility becomes 5 inches. There is a rope line to guide you along the dive and you always carry flashlights.
The second dive was in Little Brother, at the same site. A great 2-tank dive day.
All the dive photos are from Triton photos-the professional photographer on site. Totally worth the price
Real deal safety sign-do not ignore these!
