Diving in Playa Del Carmen Mexico
We went out to dive with Blue Life dive shop in Playa Del Carmen to explore some cenotes. We wanted to tell you also about this recommended dive shop as well. If you are into diving, you should check out this dive shop and also look into diving in cenotes. See our article here for more information on this dive shop:
Diving Mexico's Cenotes - Yukatan - Playa del Carmen - Planet Tauchen
Playa del Carmen liegt an der mexikanischen Karibikküste, der sogenannten Riviera Maya, 70 km südlich von Cancún. Es liegt in etwa auf halber Strecke zwischen Cancún und Tulum. Playa del Carmen gilt dabei als die Stadt mit dem höchsten Bevölkerungswachstum in Mexiko und ist am ehesten bekannt als Destination für Massentourismus.
Nach meiner Einschätzung würde eine solche Tourismusdestination nicht zwangsläufig viele Taucher anziehen- wären da nicht die absolut einzigartigen Cenoten….
Der Begriff stammt von den Maya der mexikanischen Halbinsel Yucatán und bedeutet Heilige Quelle. Die meisten Cenoten im Yucatán stehen mit dem vermutlich größten zusammenhängenden Unterwasserhöhlensystem der Erde in Verbindung. Die beiden längsten Systeme, Ox Bel Ha (mehr als 256 km) und Sac Actun (mehr als 222 km), sind über jeweils mehr als 140 Cenoten (vgl. Dolinen) zugänglich.
Während der letzten Eiszeit sank der Meeresspiegel (der Wasserstand der Weltmeere lag während den Vereisungen teilweise mehr als 100 Meter tiefer als heute) und tektonisch bedingt erhob sich der Yucatán als flache Kalksteintafel aus dem Meer. Während den Eiszeiten in den Phasen des abgesunkenen Meeresspiegels drang Regen in den porösen Kalkstein und suchte sich einen Weg zum Meer. Das im Wasser gelöste Kohlendioxid (als Kohlensäure) löste dabei den Kalk und wusch so mit der Zeit unterirdisch miteinander verbundene weit verzweigte unregelmäßige Hohlräume, Kanäle und Tunnel aus.
Da die meisten Höhlen auch heute noch direkt mit dem Meer verbunden sind, taucht man bei der jeweiligen Cenote in der Regel in Süsswasser ab und trifft erst beim Abstieg auf die Grenze zwischen Süss- und Salzwasser, die „Halocline“. Wenn diese Übergangsschicht in Bewegung gerät, wird die Sicht für den Taucher sehr schlecht und verschwommen. Das Eintauchen in diese Schicht ist in diversen Videosequenzen zu beobachten- ein Spektakel für jeden Taucher!
Nach vielen unvergesslichen Tauchgängen mit Stefan Ullrich von den Cenote Adventures kann ich eines mit Bestimmtheit sagen: Wir werden wiederkommen!
Playa del Carmen is located on the Mexican Caribbean coast, the so-called Riviera Maya, 70 km south of Cancun. It is about halfway between Cancun and Tulum. Playa del Carmen is considered the city with the highest population growth in Mexico and is best known as a destination for mass tourism.
In my opinion, such a tourist destination would not necessarily attract many divers - if there were not the absolutely unique cenotes....
The term comes from the Maya of the Mexican peninsula Yucatán and means holy spring. Most cenotes in the Yucatán are connected with what is probably the world's largest contiguous underwater cave system. The two longest cave systems, Ox Bel Ha (more than 256 km) and Sac Actun (more than 222 km), are each accessible via more than 140 cenotes (sinkholes).
During the last ice age, the sea level dropped (the water level of the oceans was partly over 100 meters lower than today during this period) and the Yucatán raised as a flat limestone tablet from the sea. During the ice ages in the phases of sinking sea level rain penetrated into the porous limestone and sought a way to the sea. The carbon dioxide dissolved in the water (as carbonic acid, dissolved the lime and washed out over time interconnected, widely branched irregular cavities, channels and tunnels.
Since most of the caves are still directly connected to the sea today, you usually dive into fresh water in the cenote itself and meet the border between fresh and salt water (the so-called Halocline) on your descent into the cave. When this transitional layer gets moving, the diver's vision becomes very bad and blurry. The immersion in this layer can be observed in various video sequences - a spectacle for every diver!
After many unforgettable dives with Stefan Ullrich from the Cenote Adventures I can say one thing for sure: We will be back!

We are... Spearfishing Today Mexico | Cancun | Cozumel | Holbox | Playa del Carmen | Tulum
At Spearfishing Today, we strongly believe in contributing to the sustainability of our seas, our environment, of our planet. Meet some of our guides and learn more about our vision.
For some time, we have been practicing what we preach in terms of ensuring that what we catch goes from sea to table.
While spearfishing is a sport, and there are those who spite common sense, regulations, and best practices just to get the biggest fish, when practiced right it is also the most sustainable form of fishing.
We offer Spearfishing (and Free Diving) trips in Mexico out of Cancun, Cozumel, Holbox, Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Check out our page!
Mexico Diving - The Cenotes
Utterly sublime diving...if you dive, you HAVE to do this - it is just hauntingly beautiful.
Cenotes dived:
- Chac Mool
- Tajma Ha
- Chikin Ha
- Eden Garden
- Dos Ojos
Just a note of explanation : when you watch this and wonder why the camera loses focus, it is actually because we are moving through haloclines - the eerie barrier where the denser salt water meets the fresh water.
We will never forget the experience...
