The area features an extensive network of underground rivers and cenotes (natural sinkholes) that are home to a diverse array of marine life and geological formations.

There are several popular cave diving sites in Tulum, including Dos Ojos, Gran Cenote, and Sac Actun, which offer different levels of difficulty and dive experiences.
