Cenote Esqueleto

Also known as Calavera, Temple of Doom

This cenote is a geologically unique 25 ft diameter hole with a huge undercut ledge. A huge debris mound with all sides leading down to the saltwater level at 33 ft. Along the shallow freshwater depth of twenty feet or less are located speleothems.

A 360 degree permanent gold lline is installed allowing divers to safely explore the entire cenote within "natural daylight". Several cave passageways lead off from the cavern zone. Extreme care should be exercised not to wander into the cave system. Great place to go swimming and cool off.
