Cenote The Pit
Level 3 - Advanced: CREER cenote level (guided cavern diving) [1] [2] (CREER describes Level 3 cenotes as deep and fragile with longer cavern lines.). 以下分类采用该认证体系自身的命名方式，用于描述该潜点所需的培训级别。
A deep, narrow cenote beyond Dos Ojos known for sunbeams, a halocline and a hydrogen sulphide cloud at about 30 m; CREER rates it Level 3 (Advanced) for guided cavern diving.
The Pit is a steep-sided sinkhole a few kilometres past the Dos Ojos entrance. Operators describe a descent through clear fresh water, across a shallow halocline, to a sloping ceiling hung with stalactites where light beams enter, and below that a milky layer of hydrogen sulphide (a gas produced by decaying organic matter at the fresh-salt boundary) from about 30 m, through which tree branches on the debris cone can be seen.
CREER rates The Pit as Level 3 (Advanced): deep, fragile and with longer cavern lines, so guided cavern divers must already have dived a Level 2 cenote. CREER's guide rules cap guided cavern dives at 30 m and keep them within daylight. The Pit is described by Pro Dive International as part of the Dos Ojos system, which is now part of Sac Actun.
The entrance is steep and narrow, and operators recommend pulleys for lowering heavy equipment.
环境
Deep open shaft with a halocline and a hydrogen sulphide layer; cave passages lead off at depth.
环境条件
Typical conditions only: best light is reported early in the day. Operators describe a hydrogen sulphide cloud starting around 30 m. CREER limits guided cavern dives to 30 m.
