Cenote Angelita
Angelita, "little angel" in English, is not only an atypical cenote dive, but a once in a lifetime dive in all respects. Situated 17 km south of Tulum, it is the furthest site visited from Playa del Carmen.
Walking about 5 minutes through the jungle you reach this picturesque circular shaped cenote which does nothing more than go straight down 60 m.
Descending through clear fresh water you will sink right into a mystical hydrogen sulfate layer at 30m that looks like a huge cloud with trunks and branches reaching through it. Underneath the cloud the salt water begins. It is dark here, giving the diver the feeling of being in a forest at night. Depending on air consumption, the ascent can be done slowly winding up alongside the walls.
Some huge stalactites
Some huge stalactites, hanging from the edge of the cenote, can be admired here, reminding us of times when the water level was much lower. Angelita is a dive for the experienced diver because of its depth. Most commonly it is dived to a depth of 40m. This cenote is also popular for technical divers and decompression dives.
