Scuba diving the longest underwater river system | Yucatan Peninsula, Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
#HighOnLife #HOLInspired #Mexico
Imagine deep underneath your feet are these dark caves that stretch on for hundreds of miles. Now imagine that these caves have been completely submerged in water for thousands and thousands of years. And that to navigate these caves, you’ve gotta scuba dive into it with flashlights. Pretty interesting right? According to our diving expert Kenzo, this was on the must-do, must-see list when we got back to Playa del Carmen.
Big thanks to El Taj Oceanfront and Beachside for hosting us.
Stay where we did:
The Yucatan Penisula is believed to be home of the longest underwater river system in the world. Watch as we explore Playa Del Carmen, scuba diving into a new world of hidden caves, sharks, cenotes and much more adventure.
Special thanks to Tank-Ha for taking us scuba diving.

Diving Mexico's Cenotes - Yukatan - Playa del Carmen - Planet Tauchen
Playa del Carmen liegt an der mexikanischen Karibikküste, der sogenannten Riviera Maya, 70 km südlich von Cancún. Es liegt in etwa auf halber Strecke zwischen Cancún und Tulum. Playa del Carmen gilt dabei als die Stadt mit dem höchsten Bevölkerungswachstum in Mexiko und ist am ehesten bekannt als Destination für Massentourismus.
Nach meiner Einschätzung würde eine solche Tourismusdestination nicht zwangsläufig viele Taucher anziehen- wären da nicht die absolut einzigartigen Cenoten….
Der Begriff stammt von den Maya der mexikanischen Halbinsel Yucatán und bedeutet Heilige Quelle. Die meisten Cenoten im Yucatán stehen mit dem vermutlich größten zusammenhängenden Unterwasserhöhlensystem der Erde in Verbindung. Die beiden längsten Systeme, Ox Bel Ha (mehr als 256 km) und Sac Actun (mehr als 222 km), sind über jeweils mehr als 140 Cenoten (vgl. Dolinen) zugänglich.
Während der letzten Eiszeit sank der Meeresspiegel (der Wasserstand der Weltmeere lag während den Vereisungen teilweise mehr als 100 Meter tiefer als heute) und tektonisch bedingt erhob sich der Yucatán als flache Kalksteintafel aus dem Meer. Während den Eiszeiten in den Phasen des abgesunkenen Meeresspiegels drang Regen in den porösen Kalkstein und suchte sich einen Weg zum Meer. Das im Wasser gelöste Kohlendioxid (als Kohlensäure) löste dabei den Kalk und wusch so mit der Zeit unterirdisch miteinander verbundene weit verzweigte unregelmäßige Hohlräume, Kanäle und Tunnel aus.
Da die meisten Höhlen auch heute noch direkt mit dem Meer verbunden sind, taucht man bei der jeweiligen Cenote in der Regel in Süsswasser ab und trifft erst beim Abstieg auf die Grenze zwischen Süss- und Salzwasser, die „Halocline“. Wenn diese Übergangsschicht in Bewegung gerät, wird die Sicht für den Taucher sehr schlecht und verschwommen. Das Eintauchen in diese Schicht ist in diversen Videosequenzen zu beobachten- ein Spektakel für jeden Taucher!
Nach vielen unvergesslichen Tauchgängen mit Stefan Ullrich von den Cenote Adventures kann ich eines mit Bestimmtheit sagen: Wir werden wiederkommen!
Playa del Carmen is located on the Mexican Caribbean coast, the so-called Riviera Maya, 70 km south of Cancun. It is about halfway between Cancun and Tulum. Playa del Carmen is considered the city with the highest population growth in Mexico and is best known as a destination for mass tourism.
In my opinion, such a tourist destination would not necessarily attract many divers - if there were not the absolutely unique cenotes....
The term comes from the Maya of the Mexican peninsula Yucatán and means holy spring. Most cenotes in the Yucatán are connected with what is probably the world's largest contiguous underwater cave system. The two longest cave systems, Ox Bel Ha (more than 256 km) and Sac Actun (more than 222 km), are each accessible via more than 140 cenotes (sinkholes).
During the last ice age, the sea level dropped (the water level of the oceans was partly over 100 meters lower than today during this period) and the Yucatán raised as a flat limestone tablet from the sea. During the ice ages in the phases of sinking sea level rain penetrated into the porous limestone and sought a way to the sea. The carbon dioxide dissolved in the water (as carbonic acid, dissolved the lime and washed out over time interconnected, widely branched irregular cavities, channels and tunnels.
Since most of the caves are still directly connected to the sea today, you usually dive into fresh water in the cenote itself and meet the border between fresh and salt water (the so-called Halocline) on your descent into the cave. When this transitional layer gets moving, the diver's vision becomes very bad and blurry. The immersion in this layer can be observed in various video sequences - a spectacle for every diver!
After many unforgettable dives with Stefan Ullrich from the Cenote Adventures I can say one thing for sure: We will be back!

Scuba Diving in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico 2017
Punta Piedra, Playa Del Carmen, Mecixo
Scuba diving for the first time. Serge and Igor
snorkeling by Playa Del Carmen Mexico
We took a snorkeling excursion from Sandos Playacar, (lucked out cause it was discounted from $40 to $25 US per person) we went about 15 - 29 minutes south to a quiet shallow bay just past Xcaret Park and had one of the best tour snorkeling experiences. Good variety of fish, shallow water and nice reef.
This is where the Xcaret Park snorkeling excursions come...

Barracuda Reef, Scuba Diving, Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
Barracuda Reef, Playa Del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Mexico
This is usually a second dive site, since it is shallow. We did this dive after a Mama Viña and still I was impressed by all the marine life I've seen in this nice reef. Barracudas, spotted eels, trumpet fish, grouper, sting ray, groups of sergeant major fish, and french grunts. This is a drift dive, so currents can be pretty strong
Picture this reef as a hand with five finger like outcroppings. There are many small holes to explore along the reef and with a sharp eye and some luck you may spot some Barracuda patrolling the reef. Near the end of the dive it is worth investigating the shallow cave that will take you to an exit on the top of the reef.
Minimum Depth 6m (20 ft)
Maximum Depth 14m (50 ft)
Average Visability 20m (60 ft)
