Dive information
Dos Ojos is a shallow, clear, highly visual cavern dive site near Tulum. It is famous, accessible, and still deserves careful guide selection and proper dive planning.
The system
Dos Ojos is part of a large flooded cave system north of Tulum. The two openings connect into a shared cavern area, creating the "Two Eyes" name and giving divers more than one way to experience the site.
Dos Ojos is often described as one of the best-known underwater cave systems in the region. The important practical point for visitors is simple: it is a serious natural site that can be enjoyed safely when treated with respect.
Dive routes
Often described as one of the classic Dos Ojos experiences, with clear water, overhead views, and the famous cavern feeling that made the site known.
A different route with its own formations and light. Many divers like doing two tanks at Dos Ojos because the routes do not feel identical.
Helpful hint
One recommended technique for cavern and cave diving in the cenotes of the Riviera Maya is the modified flutter kick. The diver stays horizontal, looks forward, bends the knees, keeps the body stable, and moves mainly from the ankles in a relaxed alternating motion.
This helps reduce silting, protects the cenote floor, and keeps the dive more comfortable for everyone behind you.
Keep the movement small and controlled so the water stays clear and the formations stay protected.
Rules and conservation
Please help preserve these fragile cenotes. Dive gently.
Cave warning
The cavern tour is designed to stay within the safe cavern zone, where there is still visible light and a qualified guide manages the route. Beyond warning signs, the environment changes into cave diving. That requires proper cave training, redundant equipment, gas planning, and a different level of discipline.
If you are not cave trained, treat those signs as the end of the dive route. Stay with the guide, stay on the line, and do not follow another diver into a cave section.
Cenote diving is beautiful because the rules are taken seriously.
Safety note
Stay with the guide, remain within the cavern limits, manage buoyancy, avoid touching formations, and do not enter cave sections unless you are trained and properly equipped for cave diving.
If you want cave dives or cave training, ask clearly before booking. The right guide and plan matter more than rushing into a famous site.
