Diving in Cenote Manati provides the diver with a very unique and different diving experience in this area. The cenote got its name from the manatees which used to frequently swim in its waters. But most people today know the cenote as Casa Cenote for the restaurant right in front of its entrance.

Cenote Manati is located only a few steps away from the ocean in the middle of a mangrove field giving the diver the feeling of diving underneath the jungle. Its big open areas as well as its overhead passages, such as mangrove tunnels and rocky overhangs, make this a perfect diving site for the novice diver as well as for the experienced diver alike.

With a halocline (mixture of warm sea water and cool fresh water creating visual distortion) and nice light effects, divers can enjoy moving through passages and cracks of limestone.

The cenote connects the longest underwater cave system, Sac Aktun, with the ocean and both fresh and saltwater fish share this unique place including blue swimming crabs, green moray eels, snapper, tarpons, guppies, platys, and mollies. And huge rocks, overgrown with mosses and green algae, decorate the bottom.

A truly unique experience! Don’t miss it!
