I did a three day dive tour through a selection of Tulum cenotes with Dominic. Super Dude in and out of the water. We did Dos Ojos, El Pit, Angelita, Nohoch, Carwash. Dominic is very knowledgeable and professional cavern scuba guide. I was always thoroughly briefed on what to expect, how to best and safely experience each dive. As well as what to look for to have it the best way possible and unforgettable. Especially that the cenotes are quite unique and offer special, new things you will experience such sulfide cloud or halocline. So briefings get superimportant if you want to experience them the right way. Also Dom was always flexible which was important to me as I am on holiday with non divers. Highly recommended and I will be back for sure for more with Dom. Super, super fun!

My son and I dived with Dominic (we did 6 cenotes) and it was a great experience. (First time for my son, third time for me). Dominic is a true expert in, and fan of, both cenote diving and the history of the region. He is also very flexible and caters to small teams. Highly recommended.

Dominic s’est adapté à mes envies et demandes, tout en étant de bon conseil pour le choix des plongées. Les cenotes sont exceptionnelles, et Dominic a été excellent pour m’y accompagner, tant sur terre que dans l’eau. Probablement LE MEILLEUR SOUVENIR DE TOUT MON VOYAGE ! Je vous recommande sincèrement de passer par Best Cenote Dive ! (Contacter le plutôt par wattsapp ou mail, plutôt que de vous rendre sur place. Vous aurez bien plus de chance de trouver quelqu’un pour vous répondre ainsi)

I went diving with Dom for two days and had an absolutely amazing experience. My last dive had been four years ago, and he did a fantastic job helping me ease back into it. The selection of cenotes was perfect for getting comfortable again at the beginning. Dom is very attentive to individual needs and can adjust the cenotes accordingly. I felt completely safe with him at all times, and he’s a genuinely great person to be around. I can highly recommend going diving with him. Thank you so much for these two incredible days and this unforgettable experience, Dom!

Wir waren 3 Tage mit Dominic und Ruby in verschiedenen Cenoten tauchen und hatten eine unglaubliche Zeit. Die Tauchplätze waren sehr gut gewählt, der Service und die Kommunikation waren vorbildlich. Wir würden ganz bestimmt nochmal wiederkommen!

We had an amazing experience diving with Dominic from Best Dives! We explored Casa Cenote and the Dos Ojos caves, and every dive felt safe, well-organised, and absolutely unforgettable. Dominic was super professional, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. We also did the bull shark dive, which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Couldn’t recommend Best Dives enough—top-level service and incredible underwater adventures!

Well... That was spectacular! Having Dominic as our private guide was amazing. Being able to simply enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics made for a special 3 days of cenote diving. From a foggy 'Star Wars' scene, to blue-green God rays, to brilliant white limestone, my wife and I were repeatedly in awe after each successive dive. You may raise an eyebrow to the rusty Jeep dive SUV he drives, but Dominic's experience is top-notch.

We spent 6 days diving with Dominic and Best Cenotes - three days of cavern fun dives and three days of our IANTD tec cert. Every detail was well planned and it made for a smooth experience. Dominic was a great instructor for improving our sidemount techniques and learning more advanced deco procedures. His calm presence underwater and during our dive briefings made all the difference in how much we learned and accomplished! I highly recommend Dominic and Best Cenotes if you are looking to enjoy your dives, stay safe, and grow your skills.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cenote Diving in Tulum

Do I need to be a certified diver to dive in the cenotes in Tulum?

Most cenote cavern dives require an Open Water diving certification or higher. Some cenotes are suitable for newly certified divers, while others require more experience or an Advanced Open Water certification. At Best Cenote Dives, we select dive sites based on your certification, experience and comfort level, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

What are the best cenotes for scuba diving in Tulum?

Tulum is home to some of the world’s most spectacular cenote diving sites. Dos Ojos is famous for its beautiful rock formations and crystal-clear water, while The Pit offers dramatic depth and incredible light beams. Angelita is known for its unusual hydrogen sulphide cloud, and Car Wash offers a beautiful open-water environment. The best choice depends on your diving experience and interests.

How much does cenote diving in Tulum cost?

Private cenote diving experiences with Best Cenote Dives start from US$200 per person for a two-dive day. Prices vary depending on the cenotes selected and the number of dives. Our packages include diving equipment, cenote entrance fees and transport from Tulum town. Multi-day packages are also available.

Is cenote diving safe for beginners?

Cenote diving can be suitable for newly certified scuba divers when the dive site and conditions are appropriate. We offer private guided experiences, allowing us to adapt the dives to your experience and confidence in the water. All cavern dives follow established safety procedures, with appropriate equipment, gas management and professional supervision. 

What is the difference between cavern diving and cave diving?

Cavern diving takes place in the daylight zone of an underwater cave, following established cavern-diving limits. Certified recreational divers can explore suitable cavern routes with a qualified guide. Cave diving goes beyond the cavern zone into an overhead environment where direct access to the surface is not possible and requires specialist training and equipment. Best Cenote Dives offers both guided cavern experiences and technical cave-diving courses.

What is included in a cenote diving tour?

Our private cenote diving tours include a professional dive guide, scuba equipment, cenote entrance fees, transport from Tulum town. We provide a personalised experience rather than large group tours, with dive sites selected to suit your certification and experience.
