El PIT is a deep, rugged gash in the jungle floor located just 3 km past Dos Ojos.
The entrance is steep and narrow, so exercise caution and use pulleys to lower heavy equipment if necessary.
For an optimal experience, arrive early for a morning dive with the best light penetration in winter, or arrive midday in summer for 35 meters of light entry.
Once in the water, take a moment to appreciate the calm surroundings.
Begin your descent in the middle of the cenote, bathed in full light, and pass through a shallow halocline at 50 feet (14 meters) towards the hydrogen sulfide cloud at 100 feet (30 meters).
Tree branches eerily protrude from this multi-layered cloud, creating a surreal scene where the cavern floor appears to be visible, but don’t stop there!
El PIT continues deep beneath the cloud, narrowing into darkness to a depth of 400 feet (120 meters).
During your dive, explore the cavern overhang above the cloud that leads to the entrance discovered by the first explorers.
Here, you will encounter stalactites of various shapes and sizes and a spectacular view of this vast subterranean wonder.
Cenote Nicte-Ha, meaning "Water Flower," is named after the lily plants that grow and float in its crystal-clear waters, adorning the surrounding area.
Located just 1 km before the Dos Ojos cenote, Nicte-Ha is part of the largest cave system that connects most of the cenotes in this region.
