About this audio guide
This guide to Soliman Bay's reef, north of Tulum, follows the volunteer divers who have spent decades mapping the flooded caves beneath this stretch of coast, starting with a nineteen eighty-seven descent into a sinkhole called Gran Cenote. It traces how ordinary dive guides, working on their own time, turned an unmapped labyrinth into one of the best-surveyed cave systems on the peninsula. Listen for how the same fresh water threading those tunnels still feeds the mangroves just behind this beach.
