This is an amazing cenote for scuba divers of all levels and if you only have one day to sample a cenote this has it all! Shimmering halocline, swirling sulfur clouds, fossils of shells and coral, stalactites of all sizes and an air dome in which we will surface, under the jungle floor.

Cenote Chac Mool / Little Brother

Entering in Cenote Little Brother we will swim through trippy halocline and past the alien green lights of Cenote Chac Mool. See amazing stalactites of all sizes and surface into a subterranean air dome where the roots of the trees above cover the ceiling.

Cross over the huge boulder of a once long ago cavern ceiling and gaze up through the clean water to the trees and birds above.

Definitely a favourite cenote day with our staff.

Diving this cenote

This cenote is a one tank dive and is best combined with a dive in Cenote Kukulkan, also part of the Chac Mool system.

Cameras of any kind are forbidden while diving here, for the preservation of the cave. However, there is a photographer on site who offers incredible photos and videos at a reasonable price. All the underwater photos on this page and that of Cenote Kukulkan are taken by him. This cenote is always combined with Cenote Kukulkan and this is where the photographer normally takes the photos.

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 and as in all cenotes sunscreen. Keep in mind cosmetics and insect repellent are banned due to the conservation of the site.

A Chac Mool

A Chac Mool is a style of sculpture of a male human figure reclining backward, with his legs raised, knees bent, feet placed on the floor and the head turned left or right. The sculpture hands meet at the chest, usually holding either a disc or a vessel.

Many such figures have been found across Latin America they are still somewhat mysterious and open to a wide range of interpretations by archaeologists, some theories believe they were an offering table or even a sacrificial table.
