What is a cenote?

Cenotes are natural sinkholes primarily found in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and other parts of the Caribbean. Formed over thousands of years by the collapse of limestone bedrock, they create underground wells and caves filled with crystal-clear, fresh water.

​

Once considered sacred by the Maya civilization, cenotes played a key role in religious rituals, including water worship and, in some cases, sacrificial offerings. Today, they have become must-visit destinations for nature enthusiasts and are ideal for activities like swimming, snorkeling, diving, and especially freediving.

​

For freedivers, cenotes offer the perfect environment. Their exceptionally clear water ensures excellent visibility, while the lack of currents provides a safe training setting. The stable water temperature allows for comfortable dives year-round, and the varying depths—from shallow pools to deep sinkholes—cater to both beginners and experienced divers.

​

These unique conditions make cenotes an incredible place to refine technique, improve breath control, and fully immerse in the experience of freediving in a one-of-a-kind natural setting.
