Both cenotes are connected by a huge cavern where you can observe massive columns. The cave diving exploration of the Dos Ojos system originally started there. Dos Ojos underwater cave is so amazing that it has been featured in big productions:
- IMAX movie “Journey into Amazing Caves” in 2002
- BBC/Discovery Channel series “Planet Earth” in 2006
- Parts of “The Cave” movie was filmed there in 2005
Starting from Dos Ojos, you can do two cavern dives. Both start and finish at the same place but are completely different.
Barbie Line
It is a circuit of 500 meters (1,600 feet) long. You will reach the second eye through the cavern and dive under the ceiling along its surface, showing daylight and the nearby surface. This highly decorated place with massive brownish formations will allow you to swim between huge columns and stalactites.
Bat Cave
It feels almost like cave diving. The dive is darker as it mostly goes around an air dome, the bat cave, with very little daylight penetration. This dive is also highly decorated with much thinner, more subtle, and fragile speleothems.
