ANGELITA

Located south than Akumal, in the Tulum area, 40 minutes from the resort by car, Angelita is must do for advanced divers who are looking for something a little different
The name means “little angel” in English and there may not be a better way to describe this magical dive site.
The setting is perfect as you walk a short distance through the jungle to the rather large hidden away cenote.
To describe it simply this cenote does nothing else but go straight down 200 feet. Fresh water with unlimited visibility makes up the first one hundred feet and salt water the other half is separated by a mystical layer of hydrogen sulphate.
This layer in the middle appears as a dense cloud from the top and strange coloured hue from the bottom. Bring your dive lights, as you will need them if you are going to penetrate through to the bottom.
There are not many dives in the world where you can dive in the clouds at 100 feet and see trees, but this is one.

This particular structure works as a huge sponge capable to absorb and filter the smallest drop of water.
For this reason along the centuries fresh water rivers had been formed inside it, that running for miles had corroded the rock forming the caves, caverns and channels filled with stalactites and stalagmites visible from the surface thanks to rocks’ …….
