The story of Dos Ojos Cenote

"Dos Ojos" means "two eyes", for the two cenotes connected by a cave passage. They form part of a vast flooded cave system explored by divers since the 1980s.

The water is very clear, with stalactites and light beams that make it one of the most famous dive sites in Mexico.
