Cenote Diving
What are cenotes?
The Yucatan Peninsula is a huge limestone
platform where fresh water runs like rivers
through underground cave systems. Part
of this land collapsed after the last ice age
more than 8,000 years ago, creating sinkholes
called CENOTES, derived from the
Mayan word “Dzonot” which means sacred
well and were considered the entrance to the
mythical underworld by the ancient Mayas.
FAQ’s
Here are 6 tips before you go cenote diving!
1) Cave diving or cavern diving?
Well, technically they’re the same thing but different.
Both involve diving in an overhead environment,
but cavern diving means not straying
out of the range of visible light from the surface,
and not going further than 60m into the overhead
environment. Cave diving is exploring beyond the
range of visible light, passing into spaces that are
not suitable for untrained divers.
2) Do I need a special certification?
Not necessarily. To dive the cenotes as a recreational
diver, you just need an Open Water certification.
To explore deeper into the underwater
world, however, you need to undergo extensive
cave diver training and learn how to use different
types of equipment.
3)What equipment do I need?
Normal dive gear is fine but long suits and boots
are a good idea. The water temperature’s a little
cooler in the cenotes than the open ocean and you
may have to hike through a little bit of jungle to
get to the entry point. Ditch your snorkel, apart
from the overhead environment, some of the cenotes
are filled with tree roots and branches, which
present an entanglement hazard.
4) What will I see down there?
There’s not a lot of fish life in the cenotes, but that
is more than made up for by the spectacular rock
formations, stalactites, stalagmites and fossils, all
lit by the most beautiful displays of light. You may
well also encounter the phenomenon of the halocline,
a boundary between fresh water from the
surface and heavier salt water seeping in from the
ocean, which gives you the impression that you are
swimming over a lake, or above the clouds.

Notable Cenotes

Cenote el Pit
The Pit is the largest underwater
cave in the world! It´s a deep and
rugged gash in the jungle floor,
part of Dos Ojos cave system. You
will be amazed by fascinating light
beams that penetrate the cavern
for more than 40 metres down
(120ft). The entrance is steep and
narrow, but once you are inside the
cavern, you appreciate peaceful
surroundings by circling around.
Cenote Tajma Ha
Reader Reviews
Cenote Tajma Ha is very famous for its
stalactites, stalagmites, its spectacular
lights effects and its fossil shells. You can
also discover large rooms of limestone,
speleothems, ceiling collapsed and a
dense halocline. Haloclines in the deeper
areas create interesting mirror like effects
as divers penetrate the layer of salt
water, which is below the fresh water.
Not only are cenotes fun for first time tourists or swimmers, but also for profesional divers.
Reader Charlotte Obama had this to say about cenote diving “My husband and I did our
first cenote diving in The Pit and Tajma Ha and it was amazing! We have done lots of ocean
diving but this was not like anything we have done before. Truly unique and we would
highly recommend!”

Mount Everest
About Mount Everest
Mount Everest is a peak in the Himalaya mountain
range. It is located between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous
region of China. At 8,849 meters (29,032
feet), it is considered the tallest point on Earth. In the
nineteenth century, the mountain was named after
George Everest, a former Surveyor General of India.
The Tibetan name is Chomolungma, which means
“Mother Goddess of the World.” The Nepali name is
Sagarmatha, which has various meanings. The Himalayan
mountains have long been home to indigenous
groups living in the valleys. The most famous of
these are the Sherpa people. The word “Sherpa” is often
used to mean mountain guide, though it actually
refers to an ethnic group. The Sherpa have valuable
experience in mountain climbing, which they can
provide to other climbers.
Climbing Mount Everest has become
a popular expedition for mountain
climbers. However, it is a dangerous
undertaking. Climbing Everest requires
a lot of experience mountaineering
elsewhere, as well as a certificate
of good health, equipment, and
a trained Nepalese guide. The snow
and ice on the mountain create deadly
hazards like avalanches, and there
is only a limited climbing season due
to bad weather conditions. But perhaps
the biggest danger is the altitude.
Most climbers are not accustomed to
the high altitude and low oxygen levels
and rely on bottled oxygen they
bring along. This is why the area above 8,000 meters (26,000 feet) elevation on Everest is called the
“death zone.” Climbers who spend long periods in this region can develop altitude sickness and
even brain swelling.

1953 British Mount Everest Expedition
The 1953 British Mount Everest expedition
was the ninth mountaineering expedition to
attempt the first ascent of Mount Everest, and
the first confirmed to have succeeded when
Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reached
the summit on 29 May 1953. Led by Colonel
John Hunt, it was organised and financed by
the Joint Himalayan Committee. News of the
expedition’s success reached London in time
to be released on the morning of Queen Elizabeth
II’s coronation, on 2 June that year.
Reader Reviews
Mount Everest Today
Mount Everest’s climbing industry has become
controversial. As popularity of the climb has increased,
there have been more “traffic jams” as
climbers spend too much time in the death zone
waiting for their chance to go to the summit.
With more people has also come more pollution
up near the summit as climbers often discard
unwanted items all along the mountain. Additionally,
the Sherpa people have been exploited
by climbers, and their traditional way of life
has been disrupted by foreign climbers. Sherpa
guides are faced with some of the highest death
rates of any field of employment, for comparatively
little pay. Most disturbingly, because many
climbers have died along the way, and their bodies are impossible to retrieve, climbers must frequently
travel past corpses as they make their way up the mountain.
Reader James Bowie, who recently came back from Mount Everest had this to say: “Understand
the meaning of life being there. Everyone must see this beauty of nature once. Someone
could understand the meaning of life being there. Truly, an amazing place to be.”
