Let’s make cenote diving the highlight of your stay in Mexico. We offer unforgettable dives inside the magical world of these subterranean pools. Safety is key, each dive is performed under the supervision of an experienced, certified, and passionate guide. Cenotes are addictive. Once you discover the Mayan underwater world, we know you will be back for more. After a few dives, you might become a Cenote Guy yourself.
The Cenote Guy is a project with one objective: to give every certified diver the opportunity to have the unforgettable experience of diving in the best cenotes in the Playa Del Carmen and Tulum regions. We have seen so many people fall in love with cenote diving that we decided to create a community for us underwater explorers, which we now call The Cenote Guys 😉 Join us and discover the highlight of your stay in Mexico.
You will choose your dive site according to your schedule. We do not have a physical shop, everything is online. As a matter of transparency, our service is a guiding service only. The cenote entrance and camera fees are independent of our services and they vary depending on the fees of the dive site itself. There are no other hidden costs. Before you dive with us, you will know exactly what you are paying for.

When we arrived in Playa del Carmen in 2016, we had no idea we were about to discover our true calling. It took just one dive into the mesmerizing cenotes for us to become addicted to this unique, euphoric activity. At that moment, our lives turned green and blue, in other words, cenote diving became the highlight of our lives.
Leaving behind our careers back home, we have moved to Playa del Carmen, obtained all of the necessary certifications, and gained extensive experience in diving in these sites to turn our passion into a profession and lifestyle. Hence marked the creation of our vibrant community known as The Cenote Guy.
These special cenote excursions are both physical and spiritual callings. Driven by a deep passion, our team shares this incredible experience with other kindred spirits. We take immense pleasure in guiding visitors through the sacred underwater tunnels of the Mayan Riviera, sharing knowledge about the deep history of this ancient land and its beautiful, magical culture.
Our favorite part is always witnessing the expressions of absolute amazement on divers’ faces after their first time diving with us in the gorgeous cenote caves of playa del carmen and tulum. Most are entranced by their euphoric experience, a truly priceless reward. It’s very fulfilling for us to see people come together as strangers and leave as lifelong friends, embodying the spirit of The Cenote Guy.
The answer is both simple and complex.
The Cenote Guy refers to a mindset, a way of being, a passion for exploring a mystical underworld, and an addiction to sharing this experience with fellow adventurers.
But it’s also true that The Cenote Guy is not just one person. This is anyone who has experienced cenote diving and understood how impactful and powerful the experience is… the next Cenote Guy may soon be YOU!
None of us claim to be the only Cenote Guy; we know our love for these underwater caverns is contagious. We have watched many customers become Cenote Guys and expect to see many more in the future. We cherish seeing the cenotes as a pilgrimage place for divers who are as captivated and entranced by these subterranean pool as us, growing an international community of Cenote Guys.

Short answer: the strongest light beams in the cenotes of Tulum and Playa del Carmen happen around solar noon, which on this coast falls between 12:33 and 13:04, never at 12:00. The sun is highest in May and July, when it passes almost straight overhead, and lowest in December, when

Two things fight for space in a cenote diver’s bag: jungle heat and cold cave water. Most first-timers pack for only one of them, then spend half the day sweating on the walk in or shivering after the second dive. This list covers what you need to pack for cenote
