Explore the unique depths of Cenote Angelita<\/h1>\n

Cenote Angelita is located 15 minutes away from the Ko’ox Dive shop<\/a> on the road going south towards Chetumal. It has a parking lot, bathrooms and dive tables for assembling your equipment. You’ll need to walk along a 150-foot path through the jungle to get to the cenote. There is no nearby store to buy food or drinks and no showers. But, once there, you will see stairs and a small platform for easy access to the water. No jumps are required here. But you do need to be cautious with your dive equipment<\/b>.<\/p>\n

This cenote is 180 feet deep. With us, you’ll dive down to 120 feet. This cenote is particularly well known because of its crazy hydrogen sulfur cloud at 100 feet is about 9 feet thick. At 98 feet you encounter the halocline. It’s one of the most bizarre dives you can do in your life. You are going to see lots of fallen trees which rise out of the cloud, a little island with branches.<\/p>\n

The average total time is 40 minutes underwater. While in the cenote you will see a couple of stalactites, a tunnel that has a swim through and, if you pay close attention, you are going to see bird bones, branches, trees and many other things which have fallen into the cenote. Angelita is one of the most beautiful cenotes around Tulum<\/a>, absolutely brimming with interesting things to see.<\/p>\n

How to get to Cenote Angelita<\/h2>\n

The cenote is located 17 kilometres south of Tulum on the road to Chetumal. It’s very clearly signposted. After you arrive you only need to walk through the jungle for a few minutes to find the sinkhole, which looks like a picturesque little lake surrounded by trees. The path leads directly to it and there is easy access now provided by the stairs and a platform.
