Dos Ojos
Dos Ojos is one of the most famous cenote diving sites near Tulum, known for exceptionally clear water, spectacular limestone formations and two very different cavern routes: the Barbie Line and Bat Cave.
Shallow depths and spacious cavern areas make Dos Ojos accessible to Open Water certified divers, while the combination of dramatic formations, blue light and extraordinary visibility makes it just as memorable for experienced cenote divers.
Dive both routes to experience the full contrast of Dos Ojos — from the bright, open chambers of the Barbie Line to the darker and more atmospheric Bat Cave.
Why Divers Love Dos Ojos
Incredible Visibility
The crystal-clear freshwater at Dos Ojos offers exceptional visibility, creating the remarkable sensation of floating through the cavern.
Two Contrasting Cenote Dives
The Barbie Line is the brighter and more open of the two routes, with beautiful white limestone formations and blue light-filled chambers. The Bat Cave offers a darker, more atmospheric dive and includes a visit to an air-filled cavern.
Spectacular Formations
Stalactites and stalagmites fill the caverns, creating dramatic formations and cathedral-like spaces beneath the jungle.
