“Cenote” is a word unique to Mexico derived from the Mayan word ts’onot, meaning “well,” and was used to describe any place where sinkholes formed when the earth collapsed over limestone hollows and caves providing access to the underground freshwater sources below.

These pits figured prominently in Mayan culture, as places of worship, sources of life and places of sacrificial death.

Fresh water, having spent perhaps millions of years seeping and dripping through the limestone bedrock formed unimaginable numbers of delicate stalactites, stalagmites and columns, producing labyrinths and formations that are complex, menacing at times but always stunning to behold! These dry caves were eventually flooded, thus effectively bringing to a halt to any additional formation.

Here are a few videos I've taken while scuba diving in Cozumel, Mexico and other nearby places. From my experience, Cozumel is consistently the best place to scuba dive in the Caribbean.

A fluther or smack of jellyfish
A turmoil of porpoises
A risk of lobsters
A shiver or slew of sharks

And many others.

Scuba Diving with Bull Sharks in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico!

Diving, both professionally and recreationally for almost 30 years, my first bull shark dive is still a stand out among my 2000+ dives. While the bull sharks are still in Playa del Carmen, usually between November and January, we offer a seasonal tour in which we personally take our diving clients our and give them the thrill of a lifetime!
