Grand Cenote is in a elderly 'Mature Cenote' stage; the center of the Cenote is already full of debris (left side of the following picture) and many plants and even trees are going to make it a 'Dry Cenote'.
 |
It's common to see small fresh water fish and cat fish in the Cenote waters.
Fish is so curious that sometimes it creates serious visibility problems!
 |
Stalactites can become quite big , like this one shot on the south
side of Grand Cenote .
All the pictures of Grand Cenote shown here are taken in apnea.
The next series of pictures relates to a scuba dive in Cenote
Ponderosa , located few chilometers north of Grand Cenote
and near to the beautiful beach of Akumal.
The area belongs to privates and it's surprisingly difficult to obtain a
permission to access it.
The dive has been 45 minutes long and the maximum depth 12 meters.
