Twin-route cenote with clear water and limestone passages.
Cenote Dos Ojos is a shore-access cenote and cavern dive near Tulum built around twin routes, limestone passages, and clear water. Divers come for geology-led scenery, light effects, and a guide-run overhead environment rather than reef life. It is a popular, route-based dive that works best with steady buoyancy and proper overhead training.
