Situated in the heart of the Ruta de los Cenotes, the Zapote cenote, often referred to as "Hell Bells", offers a mystifying diving experience. Divers are captivated by the cavern's unique bell-shaped formations hanging from the ceiling, some as large as 2 meters in diameter. With a depth reaching up to 57 meters, it challenges even the most experienced divers. The cenote boasts crystal-clear waters, granting visibility up to 30 meters. Recent explorations have unveiled fossils and prehistoric remains, offering a glimpse into the region's ancient history.

As divers descend into its depths, they're greeted with a surreal underwater landscape – the enigmatic bell-shaped stalactites, Hell Bells, that have evolved over millennia. Ranging from tiny to massive, these formations are a spectacle to behold and are exclusive to this cenote.

The water in the Zapote cenote is a mix of fresh and salt water, creating a halocline effect. This phenomenon is visually mesmerizing, as the merging of these waters produces a shimmering, dreamlike distortion, challenging divers' perceptions of depth and distance. The clear waters allow for outstanding visibility, but the depth and halocline effect necessitate good buoyancy control.
