Meet at 8 am in Playa del Carmen for a small-group scuba outing at Cenote Kukulkan. Guide Remi leads certified Open Water divers through two underwater routes, with gear, snacks, transport, and lunch included. Bring recent experience, but leave your underwater camera behind.

“The entire dive from beginning to end was absolutely amazing! There were only 4 divers so the group was smaller and more intimate. Our guide was out of this world! He was full of information not just about the dive but the history of the Cenote’s and explained the scientific history of what we were seeing. He made sure to make all the right stops along the way pausing at places so we could simply take in the beauty of the light refractions. Cannot say enough good things!!! When I come back to Mexico I will for sure being coming back to dive them again!!!!”
