Other people's footage, not advice: how someone else dives here says nothing about what suits your team. Dive within your training.

The dive

Under the ramp lies an underwater cavity with caves in the dark that, according to Mexico Desconocido, goes deeper than 75 m. Diving and freediving are on the programme next to climbing.

Depth and level differ per source (-75 m against 'beginner'): plan for the deep scenario until a guide confirms otherwise.
Profile and sections

Under the ramp lies an underwater cavity with caves in the dark that, according to Mexico Desconocido, goes deeper than 75 m. Diving and freediving are on the programme next to climbing.

Practical: the two sources contradict each other on the level, so ask your guide what lies under the entry part before you plan anything there.

Cavity of more than -75 m (Mexico Desconocido); the dive centre lists it among the beginner sites, presumably for the upper part
Intro level
The upper part below the wooden ramp.

This is how the planner decides who in your team may dive this cave. Rules your own trip adds (organizer, a mail, the AI) show with your trip.

How to get there

Municipality of Cuzamá, 3 km east of Nah Yah. Wooden ramp to the water; also climbing, slackline and high diving on the grounds. Ask about the fee.

Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training.
