Cenote Lost Cenote
Location: 20.19362, -87.49613 (Yucatán, Mexico)
This unique hole was also part of the August, 1992 expedition with the first cave dive performed by Steve Gerrard during May, 1992. A wooden ladder is installed making entry and exit very easy.
The first 600 ft is typical fresh water zone dominated by massive columns, stalactites and stalagmites. The line takes a quick "Z" turn and the cave changes personality as the passage follows a fracture that actually parallels the Coba road underneath the power lines. The roadway is 3,000 ft from the Cenote Carwash closest to Tulum.
200 ft exist between Vaca Ha and The Drain passage of downstream Cenote Carwash but no connection has ever been made. A favorite for many cave divers!
For side mount divers, there is an excellent section of cave by swimming 180 m and entering into a phreatic tube area. Take the first jump to the right after entering the phreatic fracture passageway.
