Into the Darkness : Diving Cenote Dos Oyos

Cave scuba diving in the Yucatan Peninsula

During a visit to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, we had the opportunity to do some cave diving at Cenote Dos Oyos.  The Maya believed the cenotes (sinkholes in the jungle connected by subterranean rivers) were the entrance to the underworld

and it is not hard to see why. The beauty of the shimmering entrances, the pitch blackness of the caves and high pitched chirp of bats all combine to make this an uncommon adventure.
