THE PIT CENOTE: DEEP CAVE SCUBA DIVING IN TULUM
This is a cool scuba dive. The Pit Cenote, or El Pit is one of the many amazing things to see near Tulum. The Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico is like a giant ant colony of Cenotes, underground rivers, and sink holes. It's a diving and snorkeling playground, and you could spend weeks here just seeing the sights underwater. While there are hundreds of cenotes scattered across Yucatan and Quintana Roo, this particular hole cuts deeper into the ground than most. It's called The Pit for a reason, and for myself, it was my very first Cavern Dive.
I arrived here with the expectation of getting my Cave Diving certification, it turns out there is a type of diving called Cavern Diving. This means you never leave the guide line, and you always are able to see ambient light. This was enough for me, as on several of these dives we were well underground, with only a faint glow in the distance of sunlight. You have to be an advanced scuba diver to be allowed to participate in this type of dive. I highly recommend you get certified that high!

Looks amazing!

Ah man, thanks! I really enjoyed making this one
Awesome vid! What lens were you using with the A7s? I know it's a beast in low light, but did you need lights?
Man, I had the choice between this and Dos Ojos... I kind of wish I would've done "The Pit".

The pit is the best at certain times of year the beams go straight down. Dos ojos is always good if it’s sunny!
Hi, I'm new in your Chanel. Those takes were amazing!! What camera did you use in this video? Subscribed!!! :)
what did you use to film? the quality is amazing
Went there 1 year ago. Truly a magical experience. Couldn't record it tho as go pro only allowed me 30m and the pit is +40 as I recall. What underwater camera did you use?

You can use a GoPro with the underwater case
looks like youre floating on the moon and the abyss just stares at you
Hope to do this dive when I go to Mexico in a couple of weeks. Do you recall the name of the business that took you there. Thanks.
gorgeous! Is this GoPro?

You’re not “deep cave diving” on a single 80. you’re not even cave diving :/. Nice cinematography poor labeling

Most people would call this a deep cave dive, but I understand technically it's a Cavern dive to ~30m. A fun experience either way!
