Cave exploration in the Riviera Maya: the Sistema Dos Ojos project and the work of CREER

Sistema Dos Ojos Exploration Project

A retelling of one chapter of Steve Gerrard’s 2016 edition of The Cenotes of the Riviera Maya. It covers the discovery of the system in 1986 and the years of piecemeal exploration. Then the 1996 project with sixty cave divers and support personnel, and what came after. The dates, distances and names are his; the wording is ours. Sistema Dos Ojos Exploration Project.

CREER

CREER, the regional cave diving committee of Quintana Roo (Comité Regional de Espeleobuceo, Ecología y Regulación), publishes the rules of cave diving in the region. They get updates regularly, so we link them and do not copy them.

• Cenote ratings and status.
• Cenote dive guides.
• Cave Pass.
• Rules on Cave Training Sites.
