Outing Highlights

THE FORMATIONS

The Hell Bells: cavernous bell shapes

The dives explore dramatic bell‑shaped formations typical of the area; Hell Bells reaches a maximum depth reported at 120 ft and presents a distinct underwater silhouette.

THE ENTRY

Kin Ha: ladder entry and platform start

Kin Ha is a top‑sealing cenote reached via a ladder and platform; the cenote’s diameter is about 50 meters with a depth near 60 meters, and the dive follows the wall to roughly 100 ft (30 m).

THE COMBINATION

Two deep dives in a single day

The itinerary combines two deep cenote dives (often paired with Blanca Flor in operator offerings), making this one of the region’s most requested deep‑cenote experiences.
