Hi,
I'm planning a trip to Riviera Maya, it'll be my first time, so I don't know much about the area. A little search on the forum seems to show that the place is best known for cenote diving - I didn't even know what "cenote" was before I came to the board. I followed the link to the dive shop that everybody seems to recommend, "Dive Aventuras", and their web site says -
"Although special certification is required for divers who want to penetrate caves, no advanced training is necessary for certified divers who want to explore the cenotes, since routes always follow tunnels bathed in natural sunlight. This is a dive experience not to be missed! See our Magical Cenotes Video to sample a unique dive."
so for a beginner like myself (with just 10 OW dives), which cenote dives would be suitable for my skill level (without getting certified in cave diving)? I assume no real cave diving, just diving along tunnels with the top open to daylight?
Thanks,
Jason
