Description
This cenote owes its name due to the Zapote trees that grow in its surroundings and is known among divers as ''Hell Bells''.
The cenote is an almost perfect circle, covered by a layer of lilies on its walls. In this deep dive, the descent is very exciting as it becomes narrow at 65 feet, then opens to reveal some of the most unusual bell-shaped formations, which are repeated throughout the cavern in a spectacular way and the size is amazing, something unique.
The haloclines that are about 98 feet deep are very tempting for divers.
Zapote deserves its fame.
Cenote Maravilla is a still-quiet gem of Playa del Carmen. If you are a fan of the times when light shines down into the water from gaps in the cavern roof above, then Maravilla cenote is for you. When the sun is high, it has one tremendous beam of bluish-green light penetrating the depths from the single hole in the cavern ceiling.
This intriguing, privately-owned sinkhole is known for both its rock formations of bell-shaped stalactites and the thickness of the hydrogen sulfide cloud layer too. Combined, these visual effects make for incredible video and photo-taking opportunities if you have the right equipment.
