Riviera Maya Cenotes
Cenote Taak Bi Ha Playa del Carmen
Taak Bi Ha is one of the lesser-known cenotes among the general public, but a favorite of local instructors and advanced divers. It's considered one of the most spectacular cenotes geologically speaking: the stalactite formations decorating its galleries are of exceptional size and preservation.

The underwater experience
The stalactite and stalagmite formations in this cenote are among the most spectacular you'll find in cavern zones. Diving among them requires precision and buoyancy control, but the visual reward is extraordinary.
The entrance to the cenote sits right on the floor of the Mayan jungle, and beneath the stairs leading down to it, you'll find an image that will be hard to forget.
Underwater life in Taak Bi Ha is scarce — as in all cenotes — but the geological formations more than make up for it. The absolute silence underwater and the feeling of being in a space few people have visited are part of its appeal.
Why choose this cenote?
Taak Bi Ha is perfect for divers looking to refine their cenote technique — buoyancy, body position control, gas management — in a demanding but safe environment. The geological formations are also a compelling reason on their own: it's one of the most visually impressive cenotes in the area.
Mimi's tip
Pairs very well with other cenotes in the area on a double or triple-tank day. Only for divers with very good buoyancy control who have completed a minimum of 3 days of prior cavern diving.
