Cenote Dos Ojos

Dos Ojos meaning two eyes is named for the two entrances that share the large cavern zone, connected by a 400m corridor. We enter through the east eye where we will find two different routes to explore through this huge area of winding tunnels.

The first route is the Barbie line with its huge pillars and shimmering light. The second is called the Bat Cave with beautifully decorated rooms and passages. We will surface in an air dome full of bats, snoozing away from the sun; from where the line gets its name. Come dive with us to discover how the first line got its name.

The geology of this cavern is stunning, stalagmites and stalactites of all sizes, some even joining into massive pillars, calcified rock pools and walls like solidified waterfalls.

Diving this cenote

This cenote with its two routes is a great day trip for scuba divers and snorkelers alike. Bring along your non diving friends or family, they can enjoy great snorkeling, massages or two nearby restaurants.

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.

One of these routes can also be paired with El Pit.

The History

Exploration of the Dos Ojos system began in 1986 by Jim Coke and Johanna DeGroot and continues to this day.

In the beginning the cenote was very hard to access and was rarely visited until 1992 when Buddy Quattlebaum (another great cave explorer of the system) recognized the potential of Dos Ojos to be a great place for snorkeling and cavern tours, creating a road and opening it up to easy cave exploration. From there the huge underground system quickly came to light.

In 2018 the Great Maya Aquifer Project (GAM) found a connection between the Sac Actun cave system and the Dos Ojos system, forming the world’s largest known flooded cave, with a length of 215 miles/368.6 km. This huge underwater labyrinth now connects over 226 cenotes.

The Dos Ojos underwater cave system has been featured in Journey Into Amazing Caves a 2002 IMAX film, the 2006 BBC series Planet Earth and parts of the 2005 Hollywood movie The Cave.

Excellent dive outfit! Liz and Andres provided a seamless, safe, and incredible dive experience. From the moment i reached out, Liz was very responsive and knowledgeable about diving in the tulum area. She was also very accommodating to all of my requests. Andres was an amazing extra pair of hands to help with equipment but also to talk to during those pesky surface intervals. If and when i am back in Tulum, I’ll definitely be diving with Jaguar Divers!

TWO gorgeous dive days with Jaguar Liz is a fantastic dive master and guide! She is friendly and descriptive about the local environment and wildlife. We chose to dive with Liz and Jaguar Divers for 2 days, first a 2-dive boat trip out to the coast of Cozumel and a second day with 2 dives in Playa area cenotes. My husband had just finished his SCUBA open water certification and the Cozumel reef was a beautiful and exciting first day of diving for him. It was also my first drift dive, and following Liz's guidance and observing her calmness under the water helped to keep me calm as the strong current pushed us along the reef. In the cenotes her relaxed demeanor continued to be a great example to follow as we cruised quietly through the caverns. I will absolutely look up Jaguar Divers again when we return and recommend to anyone visiting along the Riviera Maya! Thank you for the great memories Liz!

Got my open water license with them, amazing experience! I did my open water diving license with Jaguar Divers and it was absolutely amazing! I started my diving license in Egypt but I didn't have time to finish it there so I decided to finish it in Mexico. I am allergic to chlorine so I could not do any pool dives and Jaguar Divers offered an option to do it in cenote which was just perfect and sooooo beautiful! Demian was very patient and nice, and it felt like I made a friend 🙂 I will be coming back to Mexico next year and cannot wait to do more dives with them and maybe even continue my certification! I definitely recommend Jaguar Divers to everyone, don't even think of any other place 🙂

Ready to book our next adventure with Jaguar Divers Just came back from a 4-day company retreat to Cancun. One of excursion options was the ocean guided two-tank scuba diving with Jaguar Divers, which we selected due to their 5.0 rating on Google and Tripadvisor. We had a group of 14 (9 non-certified and 5 certified divers) which was probably too many for Jaguar Divers to handle in one day. Liz and Nicole did an amazing job of making sure all the non-certified divers felt comfortable in the classroom and backyard pool before hitting the ocean. Looking back after the day, I was so glab both were English speaking so there was not any issues with understanding the trainings. They were so patient fitting 14 divers with gear, working with smaller groups in the pool, getting us on the dive boat and helping us set up our tanks before our first dive. We had a couple of things go wrong at the first dive: 1) my flipper fell to the ocean floor as soon as I stepped of the back boat deck and 2) two non-certified divers quit after stepping off due to thick mustache allowing water in the mask and the other couldn't equalize ear pressure after multiple attempts. Nicole was a rockstar in grabbing my flipper and then assisting with getting it secured and then did everything she could with the other two issues before the divers finally threw in the towel and went back to the boat. Once under water the experience was a highlight of my life. We all felt so calm and remembered our training because I imagine one freak out may have shortened or ended the dive for the entire group. Our group highly recommends Jaguar Divers. Thanks Liz for sparking all our enthusiasm to become certified divers and come back for another adventure with Jaguar Divers. 🤿💙

Unforgettable experience Liz and Maryama* are amazing guides to the cenotes. I loved every minute of the two days we spent with this dive shop, and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to explore the caverns.

The best place to dive! I've always wanted to try cenote diving but have been too afraid of the darkness (and cold 🥶). Liz was very comforting and reassuring and made me feel very comfortable throughout my two dives.I highly recommend diving with Liz and her team. They're professional every step of the way and are amazing divers so I always felt like I was learning something new.

Our guide Liz was THE BEST! She is just amazing. Great personality, SUPER knowledgeable, and extremely … More experienced diver! Andres was great too - such an amazing soul! Great conversations and amazing dives - extremely well spent days on our trip. Great communication, easy going, and transitioned our dive plan for the last day with ease due to undesirable weather for Cozumel dives. We did 2 ocean dives in Playa Del Carmen and 5 cenote dives over 3 days (The Pit, Chac Mool x2, Angelita, Car Wash). I don’t even know which was my favorite because they were all amazing and unique in their own right. Liz even held onto our dive gear for us overnight (including rinsing/drying). Not having to lug it back and forth to the resort and worry about how to rinse and dry it ourselves was huge! We will DEFINITELY be diving with Jaguar again next time we’re in town!!!

Loved diving with Jaguar Divers. We are a family of 7 with different levels of experience staying in … More Playa del Carmen for a wedding and wanted to dive in Cozumel. Liz at Jaguar divers handled everything… transportation to and from our hotel and all the equipment. High speed boat to Cozumel was a little rough, but once there the conditions were amazing!! The Santa Rosa wall dive was especially awesome! The coral very alive and vibrant. Thanks for a wonderful day!!

Liz is the BEST dive master we ever had the pleasure of diving with. She certified our 13 year old … More daughter in her open water and we are very impressed with how she was able to keep our daughters focus on not only safety and proper procedure, but also on fun and instilling a love of the sport. She also did a refresher for my husband and I as we had not been diving in years. We loved each of our open water doves and after our daughter did her 4 open water to be certified we did another dive and saw sharks and turtles! Liz knows the reef like the back of her hand and she will make sure you see everything that there is to be seen. Thr equipment is very good quality and she makes sure that you are comfortable with the equipment before you head down to the boats. A safety briefing before each dive kept us aware of what we were supposed to be paying attention to under water (currents, the reef) etc. Prices are fare to the other dive shops in the area. Small group sizes make the dive fun and personal. She rents good boats/crew to get us out to the dive location and provides transportation from the dive shop down to the boats. The dive shop has a pool to practice that is small but good enough for what it’s used for.

We did an afternoon 2 tank dive in Playa del Carmen. The dive sites for our shallow (35'-45') … More reef dives were only 10 minutes from shore by boat and full of aquatic life! Our dive master, Jadel Oliver, was fantastic! He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable and kept us fully informed on what to expect. If you're looking for a guide in Playa del Carmen or Cozumel, look no further! I highly recommend Jaguar!
