FAQ
How do I get to Banco Chinchorro and can I do a day trip?
Banco Chinchorro lies approximately 30 kilometres offshore from the small coastal town of Mahahual in southern Quintana Roo. Day trips are possible but involve a boat ride of roughly 90 minutes each way, limiting you to two or three dives. Multi-day liveaboard trips or overnight camping on the fishermen's palafitos offer more time to explore. Very few operators are licensed to visit the atoll due to its UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status, so booking in advance is essential. The town of Mahahual is reachable by car from Cancun in about four and a half hours.
Is it really possible to dive with crocodiles at Banco Chinchorro?
Yes, Banco Chinchorro is one of the very few places on Earth where guided snorkelling encounters with wild American crocodiles are offered. The crocodiles inhabit the mangrove-fringed shallows inside the atoll lagoon, where they have become habituated to the presence of local fishermen. Encounters are conducted in shallow water under strict supervision by specialised guides. This activity is not available year-round and depends on weather, water clarity, and the crocodiles' behaviour. It is exclusively a snorkelling activity, not a scuba dive, and participants must follow all safety instructions precisely.
What marine life can I expect at Banco Chinchorro?
The atoll's remoteness and protected status have preserved reef ecosystems that rival anything in the wider Caribbean. Expect to see large populations of Nassau and goliath groupers, species that have been severely depleted elsewhere. Caribbean reef sharks patrol the walls, nurse sharks rest under coral heads, and spotted eagle rays cruise the drop-offs. Loggerhead and green turtles are common, and the coral coverage is exceptional, with pristine stands of elkhorn and staghorn coral that have all but disappeared from more accessible reefs. Pelagic species including wahoo and king mackerel frequent the outer walls.
What is the underwater river?
It is a thick layer of hydrogen sulfide that sits at around 30 meters, so dense and defined that it looks like a flowing river complete with banks and islands of dead vegetation.
How deep do I need to go?
The 'river' effect begins at about 30 meters. While the cenote goes to 60m+, the most impressive part is between 28-35 meters. Deep/Advanced certification is required.
