Exploring cenote Angelita

Scuba dive in one of the deepest cenotes in the Yucatan

Cenote Angelita is a unique and stunning cenote located south of the town of Tulum. What sets Angelita apart from other cenotes in the region is the incredible natural phenomenon that occurs within its depths.

From the outside, Cenote Angelita appears to be an ordinary cenote, with crystal clear blue water and lush green vegetation surrounding it. But as you descend into the cenote, you see the eerie ambiance as you reach around 30 meters deep.

Cenote Angelita has a layer of hydrogen sulfide that creates a cloud-like formation. The cloud looks like the misty fog of a spooky Hollywood movie set, and the fallen trees that poke through add to the scary forest scene.

If you cross the dense cloud, which is about 8 meters thick with almost zero visibility, you can stop at a depth of between 35 and 40 meters in crystal clear waters again, but this time they have an amber color, making it a unique spectacle.

Below the hydrogen sulfide layer, there is a halocline, which is a phenomenon that occurs when freshwater and saltwater meet. The halocline creates the appearance of an underwater river, with freshwater on the top and saltwater flowing on the bottom.

Karo and the team provided us with amazing service and most of all, incredible dives. Thank you for taking care of us during our dive. The bull sharks were amazing to see and that manta ray was the cherry on top! Couldn't be any happier. Thank you for making my last dive of 2023 a memorable one.
