One of the most popular cenote dives is the Dos Ojos cenote. Dos Ojos, which in Spanish translates to “Two Eyes” due to two sinkhole caverns connected. Dos Ojos cenote is not far from The Pit which is just a few km north of Tulum, Mexico. The Mayan world considered cenotes the entrance to the underworld called Xibalba and regarded them with reverence. I too hold these in reverence for their mystical charm.

Tulum Short Stay and Hostel Mimosa
Arriving to Tulum Centro by ADO bus ($4 from Playa Del Carmen) I walk to the hostel (Mimosa Hostel) with a small bag for a 2 night stay. I did bring my personal 3mm shorty wetsuit.
Diving in “The Pit” Cenote- Tulum
The Pit is a top bucket list item for me and many other divers. Some of my friends think this cenote is dark and scary while I see it as mysterious and surreal. I was very giddy after first glance of the pit from the surface. While gearing up my anticipation grew steadily unlike other dives I have done, this one was unique.
