The cenotes or sinkholes, from the Mayan ts'ono'ot, are portals of entry into the Mayan underworld, a labyrinth of mysterious, largely unexplored subterranean waterways and caves which tether the Yucatan. With >1,500 cenotes arrayed radially from the great impact crater of Chicxulub, and with ~100 known cave systems, the Yucatan harbors the most complex and fascinating underground cave network on earth. From Aak Kimin to Yaxchen, cenote and cave diving are a magical adventure for divers, and imprint a lasting experience for explorers and dreamers alike
