Cenote Calavera is one of the cenotes that we found on the road from Tulum to Coba, a very cenotera area for divers. Behind a striking entrance awaits you a beautiful cenote to dive.
In this area between Tulum and Cobá there are several cenotes, some more suitable for swimming with a mask, others for diving and some mixed. Among the most visited we find the Great Cenote, whose characteristics of an open cenote and cave with several connected entrances make it ideal for swimming and diving. Just two kilometers from Tulum behind a picturesque entrance, the Calavera cenote awaits you.
Dive Tulum Cenote Calavera
The cenote Calavera is more suitable for diving than for swimming. An open entrance leads you into its depths with the rays of the sun. There begins the adventure for divers. Swimmers can enjoy the nature of the place and do a little dive.
There are photos on Instagram of people on a swing that have made this cenote very popular. Without detracting from the place we believe that for snorkeling or swimming there are much better cenotes near Tulum.

Why is it called Cenote Skull?
El Cenote Skull It is well known by those who do the accreditation course for caves, but don't worry that this is not the reason for the name calavera.
In the center of the entrance to the cenote with a depth of 3 meters, you can see the sediments from the collapse of the limestone rock. On these sediments, when the sun's rays touch at zenith time, a reflected skull is seen as the holes in the ceiling are reflected. Here is the mystery.

Cenote Calavera reaches a depth of 19 meters and there are up to three layers of haloclines, the effect that is created when fresh water meets salt is a very cool phenomenon for the diver.
