Tulum Area Experiences 2 Tank Guided Scuba Dives at Dos Ojos Cenote's + Lunch

South of Tulum, the jungle conceals a series of freshwater cenotes and flooded cave systems that draw divers from around the world, and this full-day outing is built specifically for certified divers who want to explore two of the lesser-visited ones: Tak Bae Ha and Tak Bae Lum. Led by professional dive guides, the two-tank trip pairs cavern and open-water diving with a Mayan lunch in between, and covers ground most visitors never reach, since these particular cenotes see far less traffic than the well-known sites nearby.

The day starts with a drive through the jungle to reach Tak Bae Ha, the first of the two cenotes, where guides lead a scuba dive through the cavern and open-water sections of the site. Because these cenotes are not widely known, the group typically has the site to themselves rather than sharing it with other tour operators. After the first dive, a local Mayan lunch is served to refuel before heading to the second site, Tak Bae Lum, for the day's second dive. Snacks and water are provided alongside the meal to keep energy up across the full day.

Getting between the two cenotes involves more jungle driving, with views of the surrounding terrain as the route winds toward each entry point and its underground caves. For divers who want to extend the day further, a third dive at the better-known Cenote Dos Ojos can be added on request, though this comes at an additional fee and is not part of the standard itinerary.

This trip is designed for certified scuba divers rather than snorkelers or first-time cavern explorers, since it centers on two full tank dives through cavern and open-water terrain. It suits divers who have already done the more famous Tulum-area cenotes and want to reach quieter, less-photographed sites instead, with the trade-off of a longer day spent traveling between locations. The tour notes it is suitable for all physical fitness levels but is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health, given the swimming and gear involved in cave and open-water diving.

Use of SCUBA equipment is included in the price, along with entrance fees at Dos Ojos, the local Mayan lunch, and snacks and water throughout the day. Gratuities are not included and should be budgeted separately. Public transportation options are noted as available near the meeting point for travelers who prefer not to arrange a hotel pickup.

Pickup location affects the price for travelers staying further from the dive sites: an extra $15 USD per person applies for pickups between Bahía Puerto Principe and Puerto Aventuras, an additional $25 USD per person for pickups between Puerto Aventuras and Playa del Carmen's Colosio Street, and a further $35 USD per person for pickups between Colosio Street and the Iberostar Grand Paraiso area north of Tulum. Travelers should factor these transportation fees in when booking based on where they are staying.
