“Places in Quintana Roo”
Dos Ojos is a flooded cave system located south of Playa Del Carmen and north of Tulum, on the Caribbean coast, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The exploration of Dos Ojos began in 1986 and has never stopped since. The documented underwater extend of the cave system is at least 61 km.
Dos Ojos has remains in the top 10 longest underwater cave systems in the world. Dos Ojos contains the deepest known cave passage in Quintana Roo with 118 meters / 396 feet of depth located at The Cenote Pit.
The name Dos Ojos is Spanish for two eyes, and refers to two neighboring cenotes which connect into a very large cavern zone shared between the two. These two cenote appear like two large eyes into the underground. Some of the underwater cave were featured in an IMAX Film in 2002, Journey Into Amazing Caves. Parts of the Hollywood 2006 movie The Cave was filmed in the Dos Ojos cave system. However this movie really sucked.
Water temperature is 24 to 25 °C (77 Fahrenheit) throughout the year and the maximum depth near the Dos Ojos Cenotes is approximately 10 m (33 feet). The water is exceptionally clear.
There are a few varieties of fish living in the cavern and two types of freshwater shrimp.
Their is also a Bat Cave that you surface in to see the bats
This cenote is a really cool place to go whether it's just for a swim or for cave diving. If you go and swim, the water is crystal clear as the caved cenotes have less debris floating around than the open ones. There isn't really any life in here, but the cool, clear water is just so awesome.
For cave diving, it was the first time I'd ever done it and it's a relatively good one to start in as it's just a short, fairly wide tunnel that connects the two "eyes" of the cenote. You resurface on the other side where there's a hole that lets light in but no access for swimmers like where you enter. Most of the dive shops in Tulum take groups here.
