Cenote Dreamgate
Cenote Dreamgate as its name suggests is a gateway into a world of dreams. One of the most stunning and highly decorative caverns filled with very delicate formations of stalactites, stalagmites and columns.
Dreamgate is the closest you can come to cave diving without actually entering the cave. Nearly in full darkness, we dive under a giant air dome where tree roots twine through the cavern ceiling to reach the water. There are two independent routes, the upstream line and the downstream line.
With the fragile rock formations and thick silt at the bottom, you really must be an experienced diver with good buoyancy control and trim to enter this cenote. Inexperienced divers pose a risk to the beautiful structures as well as ruining the dive for those behind them, by kicking up sediment. But for those with the skills, it’s an amazing dive.
Diving this cenote
This cenote with its two routes is a great day trip for scuba divers. However, as it’s a very challenging dive, you must have proved good buoyancy and conduct in other caverns before being approved to enter this cenote. the cenote is shallow and small surrounded by fragile formations.
As with most cenote tours we will meet around 8am at the dive shop to sort out scuba gear and paperwork, before heading off for our dives. Lunch is also included.
We suggest you bring a towel and a dry set of clothes. Keep in mind as in all cenotes sunscreen, cosmetics and insect repellent are banned due to the conservation of the site.
The History
The first explorers of Dreamgate were Buddy Quattlebaum and Chris Stanton. Connected by Robbie Schmittner to the Sistema Sac Actun from Cenote Koxul Ka’an on May 2009.

I had the pleasure of diving with Jaguar divers over Thanksgiving week. Google will only let you rate … More a place at five stars. Liz and Santi have put together a world class group of people that easily deserve more than five stars.
We managed to dive multiple cenotes as well as daytime and night time ocean dives. This has been the best guided excursions I have been on to date and I look forward to returning for more excitement with Jaguar divers in 2025.
All of the guides went out of their way to show you all that was available in the different diving scenarios. No two days were the same and every dive offered a new experience.
Liz - I just want to say thank you for exceeding any expectations that I had. This has been a dream of mine to experience the cenotes. I was not prepared for the experiences that you provided and I am forever grateful. I look forward to our next adventure. -
Tagged along with a group of my uncertified friends for their Discover course in an open cenote. Experience … More was safe, professional, and generally fantastic.
Jessie was a fantastic instructor, the environment was beautiful, and I had a great time. My friends loved their experience and are now very interested in certifying! -
SO FUN!!!!!
We got to see so much sea life and learn how to do Scuba from getting our gear ready to … More diving in the ocean. 10/10 would do this again!!!
