What To Expect

Dream Gate is the highly decorative cenote with many spectacular formations of stalactites, stalagmites, and columns. This cenote is particularly known for its stalactites and its dark sedimentary background highlighted.

This cenote offers a combination of two different dives:
- Dream Gate Upstream
- Dream Gate Downstream

The visibility is excellent to witness the beautiful formations. You will enjoy the amazing sensation of flying between very fine stalactites and stalagmites. For diving in cenote Dream Gate, you must possess an excellent buoyancy due to the delicacy of the rock formations. This cenote has many rich subtle and fragile geological structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Cenote diving Dream Gate cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
