Freedive Cenotes in Mexico

Join us for an unforgettable underwater adventure in the crystal-clear cenotes of Mexico's Quintana Roo. Formed over thousands of years, these flooded limestone caverns offer some of the most unique freediving environments on Earth. With visibility often exceeding 50 metres, dramatic beams of light piercing the water, and intricate cave formations hidden beneath the jungle, every cenote feels like diving into another world.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No! This trip is suitable for all experience levels, including complete beginners. No previous experience or certification is required. Whether you've never tried freediving before or you're an experienced diver looking to explore a new environment, we'll tailor the sessions to your ability and experience, covering the fundamentals of freediving, safety and equalisation along the way.
-
Cenotes are natural freshwater sinkholes formed when limestone bedrock collapses, revealing underground water systems. Found throughout Mexico, they're famous for their incredible visibility, often exceeding 5metres, unique geological formations and beautiful underwater light displays. They offer some of the most extraordinary and unique environments in the world to explore on a single breath.
-
We'll explore a variety of cenotes throughout the week, from open-air sinkholes filled with sunlight to atmospheric cavern environments featuring stalactites, stalagmites and incredible underwater formations. Each location offers something different, giving you the chance to experience the diversity of these unique environments.
-
The cenotes are famous for their exceptional water clarity, with many offering visibility of 50 metres or more. Conditions vary between locations, with some cenotes featuring more aquatic vegetation and natural growth having slightly reduced visibility. Water temperatures are generally very consistent year-round, sitting around 24–26°C (75–79°F). We'd recommend bringing a wetsuit or rash vest depending on your preference and how easily you feel the cold.
-
A combination of both! We'll have at least three optional depth training sessions throughout the week, giving you the opportunity to work on your freediving skills with personalised coaching. However, there's no pressure to participate in every session. If you'd prefer to spend more time exploring the cenotes, enjoying fun dives and capturing underwater photos, you're welcome to do that instead. The trip is designed to balance skill development with the freedom to enjoy these incredible environments at your own pace.
-
Of course! Solo travellers are very welcome. We have shared room options available, and the small group size makes this a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and share the experience.
-
We recommend bringing your own freediving equipment that you're familiar with and comfortable using. This includes swimwear, a wetsuit or rash vest, fins, mask and weight belt. We can provide weights, and equipment hire can be arranged if needed. Please get in touch ahead of the trip if you'd like to organise any additional gear.
-
Mexico can be quite strict with camera equipment at customs, and additional charges may apply if you're travelling with multiple cameras. We'd recommend bringing a maximum of two cameras in total, including action cameras such as GoPros. It's also a good idea to carry proof of purchase or ownership for your equipment to help demonstrate that it's personal equipment rather than items being brought into the country for sale.
Individual cenotes may also charge separate photography fees, depending on the location and type of equipment. We'll organise the necessary camera permits for our planned visits, but additional fees may apply depending on your setup.
