Scuba Dive Cenotes Puerto Morelos

Located in the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula, this group of freelance guides operates primarily out of Puerto Morelos. They specialise in the unique hydrology of the region, focusing on the intricate systems of cenotes that define the local underwater landscape.

By operating as a freelance collective rather than a traditional shop, they offer a direct approach to dive logistics. This allows for highly personalised outings, whether you are looking for a relaxed snorkeling trip or a technical cave penetration.

The team consists of professional guides, including specialists with Full Cave certification. This high level of expertise ensures that technical divers can safely explore the more complex cave systems in the area.

Instruction is conducted with a strict limit of four divers per guide, ensuring close supervision and a tailored experience. The team is proficient in English and Spanish, providing clear communication for international divers.

Beyond standard recreational diving, the instructors are qualified to lead advanced training in cavern and cave environments. They also facilitate specialized sessions for those looking to master DPV or technical gas switching.

The training programme covers the full spectrum of PADI certifications, from Open Water Diver through to Advanced Nitrox and Deco Procedures. For those looking to move into technical territory, they offer specialized courses including Stage and CCR Normoxic Trimix Plus Diver.

They also provide advanced instruction for cave and cavern exploration, including Full Cave and cavern diving in the local cenotes. Divers looking to utilise Diver Propulsion Vehicles (DPV) can also find specialised training here.

Full equipment is included in the dive packages, so you do not need to bring your own kit for most outings. The centre manages all the logistics of cylinder preparation and gear maintenance.

For those looking to expand their technical repertoire, the facility supports advanced gas mixes. They provide Nitrox and Trimix for divers following more advanced decompression procedures.

The cenote systems provide a unique environment where you can observe a variety of species in calm, still waters. In the nearby coastal waters, you might encounter bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) during certain periods.

In the surrounding reefs and coastal areas, you will find schools of trevallies and various species of grouper (Epinephelinae). You may also spot eagle rays (Aetobatus) or southern stingrays (Hypanus americanus) gliding along the bottom.

Other common residents include barracuda (Sphyraena) and various species of corals (Gorgonacea).

The cenotes are characterized by an absence of currents, providing calm, stable conditions that are ideal for technical navigation and photography. This makes them an excellent environment for both cavern and cave diving.

While the water remains still, it is important to note that entry fees for the cenote sites are not included in the tour price and must be paid in cash on-site.
