Some of the best dives are on the upstream mainline, beyond cavern zone at a highly decorated dome room. Any place fresh water exists features an array of speleothems. Saltwater areas consist of typical limestone. This cave system flirts between fresh and salt water zones. The deepest area of the dive goes through a very thick halocline giving you the effect that the surface of the water is just above you. If you look close into the walls you can find beautiful crystals and some fossils. Once you cross through this curtain you will be able to see it from a distance as you see the reflection of bubbles on the ceiling. As soon as you start the dive, a whole curtain of laser beams will take your breath away. You need to walk approximately 30m/100ft. In this same system there is a different entrance to Cenote Kukulcan. With its large rooms and maximum depth of 12m/45 ft, Chac Mool is perfect for everyone new in cavern diving and can be reached just south of Puerto Adventuras on the right 22 kilometers south of Playa del Carmen. This is where salt and fresh water comes together creating fascinating visual effects. Chac-Mool is one of the caverns where you will find a halocline. Here you can experience a stunning laser light show on sunny days.
Along the opening of the main entrance, there are some trunks and branches reaching into the water. This allows the diver to dive next to two levels of beautiful stalactites. In the second room, a portion of the ceiling has collapsed under an air dome, in which divers can surface. The first room is relatively big with a lot of light entering from the opening. There are two water entries to Chac-Mool or Jaguar Cave, both leading into the same rooms.
