About this dive site
Famous inland cenote with surreal hydrogen-sulphide layer and tree silhouettes.
Cenote Angelita is an advanced freshwater dive south of Tulum where a cloudy halocline and sunken trees create an other-worldly profile. Full cave or cavern training rules apply for penetration; most visitors follow guide lines on a single-tank cavern tour. Not a reef dive but a Riviera Maya classic.
Angelita is freshwater cavern territory, not open ocean; cavern or cave certification and a qualified guide are mandatory for the halocline profile.
