Popular Mexican Cave Diving Sites

9/30/2009 - por Internet

There is no area in the world with as many underwater caves as the Yucatan Peninsula’s Riviera Maya. This coastal region, stretching from just south of Playa del Carmen to Tulum and slightly inland, has over 100 different cave entrances and miles upon miles of passageway. Most of it is breathtakingly beautiful.

The caves in this region are much shallower than those in north-central Florida. During the Ice Age, water levels were so low that many of these passages were exposed to air for hundreds or thousands of years. This allowed time for the formation of millions of stalactites, stalagmites and columns, in an unimaginable variety of shapes an sizes.
Steve Gerrard's Book

Steve Gerrard’s book, Cenotes of the Riviera Maya, lists over 50 cave diving sites accessible to recreational cave divers. On this website, you will find information on twelve of the most popular of these sites. Steve’s book will tell you even more.

The sites listed are located either just off Highway 307 or along the Coba Road, just west of where it intersects with Highway 307 on the north side of Tulum. The links appearing below will take you directly to information on the site which interests you (they are listed north-to-south order). Or, you can use the links at the lower right-hand corner of each page to go through the sites one at a time.
