In large part because the scuba diving in Playa del Carmen is acknowledged to be some of the best in the world. Situated on the eastern Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, the city is surrounded by gorgeous beaches where you can do everything from sitting and sipping cocktails to partaking in adventure sports.<br \/>\nBut Playa del Carmen is the home of the scuba dive. As well as the thrilling opportunities to swim with sea-based marine wildlife of all kinds, even a beginner scuba diving in Playa del Carmen will be able to see amazing sights thanks to the area&#8217;s famous cenotes &#8211; water-filled sinkholes where the limestone rock of the region has eroded away to form perfect microcosms of almost everything beautiful about Mexico. The glorious light and sun, the deep and often translucent blue waters and the plant and animal life flitting through the depths.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re scuba diving around Playa del Carmen prices vary, but you will almost always get the best deal at the smaller, locally-run dive shops. It always pays to find a local guide who will show you the best spots &#8211; and tell you the times to go to the busier but must-see local cenotes so you can visit when it&#8217;s quiet.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;

The wonderful stalactite formations and thick hydrogen sulfide cloud create some intriguing visual effects which might be enough for most cave divers. But where Maravilla really shines is when the light penetrates the cave when the sun is high in the sky above. It is a still little-visited site which is always worth the trip.<\/p>\n<p><b>Cenote Zapote (a.k.a. Hell&#8217;s Bells)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Surrounded by a stand of the zapote trees which give it its name, this cenote is often called &#8220;Hells Bells&#8221; because of the shape of the rock formations within. The shapes of these formations are unique, making Cenote Zapote one of the most stunning local cave diving sites.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aT8cK9JDRVM\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/activities\/diving-in-cenotes\/cenote-tajma-ha\/\">Tajma Ha<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>You certainly will not be short of things to see at Tajma Ha. The cave entrance links on to several of the most beautiful local caverns, including the Light Room, Cenote Sugarbowl, Chinese Gardens and Cenote Esmerelda. These attractive names are nothing compared to the stunning reality of the caves themselves. If you have the diving skills, you cannot afford to miss Tajma Ha.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ponderosa (a.k.a. The Garden of Eden)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes called El Jardin de Eden, from the surface Cenote Ponderosa looks like a small idyllic lake. You can go snorkelling here and have a one-of-a-kind experience surrounded by the jungle. But beneath the surface, you will pass through the incredible halocline where the fresh and saltwater meet to enter the completely different world below. Diving in the Garden of Eden is ideal for divers of all skill levels. The awe-inspiring light show can be seen even at shallower depths and the cenote never gets particularly deep.<\/p>\n<p><b>Chac Mool<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Chac Mool draws in so many visitors for a number of obvious reasons. In the main dome, the light show from above highlights the trees and branches trailing down into the water and creates a feeling of natural splendour which only grows as you dip beneath the surface. Do not miss the so-called Cavern Zone &#8211; it is the perfect spot for lovers of light, collapsed rock formations and views of the mysterious jungle above.<\/p>\n<p><b>Kukulcan (a.ka. Cenote Cancun or Cenote Riviera Maya)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Part of the Chac Mool cave system, Kukulcan is the beginner diver&#8217;s paradise. The white limestone walls here will glow when you shine your light on them, allowing you to see the stalactites and fossils which can be found in several places within. This is only the smallest wonder in this most beautiful of cenotes, though. The high visibility allows you to witness a truly incredible light show at certain times of day, an iridescent curtain which beams down from above.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FDS0A5FXv9c\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/activities\/diving-in-cenotes\/cenote-chikin-ha\/\">Chikin Ha<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<div id=\"table\"><\/div>\n<p>Chikin Ha is actually the name of a nature park which contains three separate cenotes, of which the translucent waters of Chikin Ha itself are probably the most accessible. Whether you are a keen cave diver wanting to experience everything you have heard the Mexico dive scene has to offer, or you simply want to view some of the natural beauty of cenotes, you will find what you are looking for at Chikin Ha.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing something like a cenote tour of Playa del Carmen will usually be the greatest thing to do. Mainly because only local guides know when the busier times are at the most popular local diving spots \u2013 and how best to avoid them. The sights of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/activities\/diving-in-cenotes\/gran-cenote\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gran Cenote<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> , <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/activities\/diving-in-cenotes\/casa-cenote\/\">Casa Cenote<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/activities\/diving-in-cenotes\/dos-ojos\/\">Dos Ojos<\/a> really should not be missed if you are even slightly interested in cenote diving (please mind that these 3 are closer to Tulum). But they are also immensely popular, so getting some local info is always worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will also be able to find the secret darlings of the cave diving scene in Riviera Maya with a local guide pointing your way. These are often a little off the beaten path or you&#8217;d need to take a short trip to get to them. But trust Koox local guides to take you there, it&#8217;s entirely worth it if you prefer having the waters more to yourself and your diving buddies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cenotesnorkeling\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Cenote snorkeling near Playa del Carmen<\/h2>\n<div align=\"center\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2970\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox.jpg\" alt=\"Cenote Snorkeling near Playa Del Carmen\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2969\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Cenote Snorkeling near Playa Del Carmen\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2968\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox3.jpg\" alt=\"Cenote Snorkeling near Playa Del Carmen\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox3.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox3-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2967\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Cenote Snorkeling near Playa Del Carmen\" width=\"267\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Cenote-snorkeling-koox4-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Cenote Snorkel Tours from Playa del Carmen<\/th>\n<th>Price<\/th>\n<th>Tour Duration<\/th>\n<th>Get this tour<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Cenotes Snorkel Tour from Playa<\/td>\n<td><strong>134USD<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>8am-1:30pm<\/td>\n<td><a class=\"btn\" title=\"Book Now\" href=\"https:\/\/kooxdiving.checkfront.com\/reserve\/?item_id=109\">Book Now<br \/>\n<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn inverted\" title=\"Get a Quote\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/contact\/\">Get a Quote <\/a> <a class=\"btn\" title=\"All Playa Tours\" href=\"http:\/\/kooxdiving.checkfront.com\/reserve\/?discount=KOOXPLAYA15&amp;category_id=15\">All Playa Tours<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As far as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/activities\/snorkeling-tours\/\">cenote snorkeling<\/a> goes, Playa del Carmen again has some of the best spots in the local area.
