The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you mount

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet on the ATV and around rocky cenote edges.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen after the swim or use a rashguard to limit chemicals entering the cenote.
Pack a small dry bag
Keep phone, cash, and a spare in a waterproof pouch; equipment lockers may be limited.
