Cenote Tajma Ha

  • 2097

The cenote Tajma Ha is very popular because of its beautiful halocline and its great light. During the dive you experience three very different cenotes, because you dive from Tajma Ha to Cenote Sugarbowl and from there to Cenote Esmeralda. All three give very different impressions.

In the open light areas you can find many catfish. If you surface in the Cenote Sugarbowl, you also have a good chance to observe the sleeping bats.
