Cenotes Dos Ojos in Yucatan
is probably the world's most famous and best cavern dive in Yucatan. The name Dos Ojos means two eyes, and refers to the two neighboring cenotes which connect into a very large cavern zone shared between the two.
These two cenotes appear like two large eyes into the underground. The original cave diving exploration of the whole cave system began through these cenotes.
They are two very different caverns that start and end in the same place. The first dive called THE BARBIE LINE, on its 500 meters (1,600 feet) circuit, leads the diver mainly along the opening of the second eye, containing plenty of daylight. It also gives divers a lot of space to swim around huge columns and stalactites. The second dive, called THE BATCAVE LINE, feels almost like a cave. It is the darker of the two due to the fact that it leads around an air filled bat cave with little daylight entering. We ascend here to see the stunning decorations and the bats. The Dos Ojos underwater cave system was featured in the 2002 IMAX film "Journey into Amazing Caves" and parts of the Hollywood 2005 movie "The Cave" were filmed here.
Maximum depth: 9 meters (30 feet)
