Casa Cenote
Casa Cenote connects one of the longest underwater cave systems in the world, Nohoch Nah Chich with the ocean. It is one of the few surface rivers in the Yucatán Peninsula. Located 10 km north of Tulum and 70 km south of Playa del Carmen, Casa Cenote offers the diver the sensation of diving under the jungle.

Description
The dive follows the course of the river at a depth of no more than 8 m. Due to the connection with the ocean, freshwater fish and saltwater fish live here. The dive continues alongside the jungle and sometimes through algae covered mangrove roots that reach the water.
Huge rocks covered in mosses and green algae decorate the bottom. When calmly emerging at the end of the river, it is possible to observe different species of birds, and with luck the osprey. Along the sides of the cenote, there are small caves that jut into the jungle, frequently used by manatees that inhabit rivers and coastal lagoons.
