Cenote Hell’s Bells/Zapote

If you want to be one of the lucky few to experience the most unique dive in the world, Cenote Hells Bells is for you.

Neighbouring sinkholes also contain Hells Bells-like structures, but they are much smaller than these at Hells Bells cenote. These bell-like formations are not found in other cave systems on Yucatan and elsewhere in the world. If you have come this far, this is your chance to see it.

Hells Bells cenote is a 54-metre-deep (177 ft) hourglass-shaped cavern.

The Bell-shaped formations are found at 28 m/90 ft. The hydrogen sulfide layer starts at about 35 m/115 ft. We will stay above the hydrogen sulfide layer.  The bell-shaped formations suspend from the cenote's lower ceiling - the biggest one measure four meters wide. Hells Bells are usually elliptical or circular, with their lower surface strictly horizontal. They are not stalactites and they are extremely rare. Unlike stalactites, the bells are not created by sediment formation in a terrestrial cave. It is hypothesized to form via a biogeochemical mechanism in an entirely underwater process. Even more interesting, they are alive and continues to grow.

If you are an experienced diver, this is a dive not to be missed!

Location:

55 minutes north of Playa del Carmen.

Cenote Kin Ha

Sun and water sum up the experience. Let's dive here in the summertime, where sun rays penetrate and illuminates the crystal-clear water. The light effect is why we love it here.

Cenote Kin Ha has a diameter of about 50 meters and a depth of about 60 meters.

As we reach our depth of 32 meter, we will the ascent in a spiral pattern and enjoy the light column.

Kin Ha is the place where you can easily understand how the passage of time marks the limestone walls. We will progress through three distinct zones on the wall, likely formed over time as water flooded the cenote. Even more fascinating are the mini bells. To see the Big Bells, we will have to visit Hell's Bells. The bell-shaped formations are a rare phenomenon and has not been discovered anywhere else in the world. You can read more about them in our Hell's Bells page.
