Water is , in almost any Cenote, of an impressive transparency.
Underwater visibility around 30 to 50 mt is standard.
The following pictures show the underwater walls of Grand Cenote; pictures seem to be taken outside of water.

The great number of stalactites and stalagmites seen during a scuba dive in a cenote show the great changes in water level during the centuries
 |
With some rare exceptions (Cenotes connected to the sea), streams are totally absent. This favours sedimentation and consequently the transparency of water.
