I just completed an unforgettable week-long trip to Mexico‘s Yucatán Peninsula, during which I explored some of the region’s most fascinating Cenotes. I wrote about it here as a Destination Not to Be Missed.
This experience, a perfect mix of training sessions and free diving, was enhanced by the company of top freedivers and instructors, making each dive unique and emotionally charged.
If you are dreaming of immersing yourself in these magical places, read on-I will tell you about my experience and how you could experience it too.
Tulum: cable training in an oasis of tranquility
My journey began in Tulum, where I chose to train on the cable in a Cenote surrounded by nature. This place, far from the chaos and surrounded by lush vegetation, offered me the perfect serenity to focus on technique and depth. The experience was made even more unique by the presence of an internationally renowned instructor, who led the sessions with professionalism and passion. The dives took place at different depths, and each meter downhill seemed to bring me closer and closer to the inner peace that only freediving can provide in one of the most picturesque places I have ever seen.
Merida: free diving in the jungle
After Tulum, I moved to the Merida area, where I explored two Cenotes hidden in the heart of the jungle. These places, shrouded in an aura of mystery and tranquility, gave me some of the most beautiful moments of the trip. Here it was not just about freediving, but a complete immersion in nature in two very special places. I was fortunate to share this experience with Charlie, founder of Dharma and now a dear friend. With him, each dive was an unforgettable adventure, punctuated by laughter, exchange of stories, and moments of pure connection with the water and everything around us.
Playa del Carmen: deep emotions in a spectacular Cenote
The last leg of my trip took me near Playa del Carmen, where I had the opportunity to dive in one of the most beautiful Cenotes in the area. Here the water is so crystal clear it seems unreal, and the light filtering through the natural openings creates breathtaking plays of color. Once again, I was fortunate to be accompanied by highly experienced freedivers (including two recent national champions from Mexico and Spain) who made this adventure even more exciting. Every moment underwater was a celebration of the natural beauty of these places and the connection that freediving can create between body, mind and environment.
