Sistema Xunaan Ha
QRSS list entry reported by the Quiet Diver Team, 04/2024. QRSS long and deep lists.
The fourth-longest underwater cave on the QRSS list at 57,344 m (April 2024), formed by joining caves including X'cacel, Chan Chemuyil Sur and Palomita; a 2025 push came close to linking it with K'oox Baal.
Sistema Xunaan Ha is a long, mostly shallow underwater cave surveyed largely by the Quiet Diver Team. QRSS records that it absorbed Chan Chemuyil Sur and X'cacel in 2009, Palomita Spring, Palomita Siphon and Xunaan Ha Two in 2009, and X'cacel Pequeña and Renzo in 2010.
QRSS lists 32 cenotes and a maximum depth of about 27 m. In January 2025 QRSS described a Xunaan Ha exploration push that came very close to connecting with Sistema K'oox Baal and may have been the longest underwater penetration from air in Quintana Roo.
The sources consulted did not identify a public dive-site entrance or published access arrangements for this system.
