Sunlit Cenote

“Timed right, diving a cenote can be a truly magical experience, hugely rewarding and unlike most other scuba adventures,” writes Terry Steeley, a member of our Your Shot community who dove on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. “I had dived many times at the Taj Mahal cenote, but today was different: Navigating my way through the tunnels to Bill’s Hole provided a real treat. The intimately lit cavern layered against energetically dancing light beams was breathtaking. Indeed, a very special dive.”
