There are about 6000 sink holes or cenotes in the Yucatan peninsula. Nothing wakes you up after a long bus ride like jumping into one of these subterranean pools. The Saama Cenote had stairs down to the spot where you jumped in so you only had to jump about four metres. The water is cool and clean but you can’t see the bottom because it is so deep. You can see the rocks on all sides around you going very high up. I got three jumps in and loved it! They make everyone wear a life jacket to be safe. Do you think you would want to try it? You are always in my prayers. Love Mom.

Yes there are! I didn’t see any but apparently they can have all sorts of different types of fish in them. Sometimes they even have turtles.

You could only jump from the one place but there were stairs going right down to the water so you could slip in without jumping.

I think the 13 people who wanted to jump would enjoy it...there were lots of kids doing it with life jackets.

The water was cool but not cold. It felt refreshing. The water is about 45 meters deep. Yes I jumped you can see it at the end of the video as I jumped with the camera, and you can see all the bubbles
