Cenote Dreamsgate :

Level: Expert
Depth: max 6.5 meters
Temperature: constantly 26°C

Cenote Dreamgate is located about 50 kilometers south of Playa del Carmen on a private ranch called Rancho Lagunero. It has been open to the public since 2008. As we can already imagine by its name, it really is a ‘gate to our dreams’.

On a bumpy road we drive 3 kilometers into the jungle until we reach the small parking lot right next to the cenote. At first glance, there is not much to see besides one palapa, a toilet and a few tables to arrange our equipment. Because the cenote’s surroundings have very little development, this place is such an idyllic one.

Cenote Dreamgate offers us two dives at the same site, one in the upstream- and one in the downstream section. This means we enter the cavern area once with the current, and for the other dive against the current.

After 15-20 minutes into the dive in the downstream section, we arrive at an air dome with many roots hanging down from the ceiling. These roots resemble elephant feet and release some type of organic acid which colors the water emerald green.

We like to describe the cavern of the second, slightly shorter dive as a landscape of wax. Everywhere you look, it’s full of stalactites and stalagmites. Many people who have visited this place describe the dives in Cenote Dreamgate as the most beautiful cavern dives in the world. Let yourself be surprised by the magical formations and this amazing place.

With a maximum depth of 6.5 meters and very fine sediment on the floor, we only recommend this dive site to our experienced guests.
