In these ponds and caverns, visibility up to 200 feet / 60 meter is not uncommon, giving you the impression that you are floating in mid-air! You will see beams of sunlight
penetrating the cavern shafts, creating a magic light show and also the halocline effect. Admiring the breathtaking limestone formations of these Cenote caverns is an exclusive privilege of divers vacationing in the Yucatan.
