Is it possible or should I stick to 2? Have a trip planed next week but want advice on making it happen. We plan to do it wit Alvero and super excited. The Cenotes we are trying to do are Dos Ojos, Chac mool and taj.
 
I'm assuming you are doing cavern diving. The diving is quite shallow, so yes you can do it. The important thing is that your guide is qualified and super cautious.
 
I've done 3 cave dives in a day, it's doable but I've got to be honest, I was feeling wiped on the 3rd dive my skills weren't as sharp, i wouldn't do it again, just not worth the risk where a lapse in concentration can have serious consequences. For someone who is a stronger and better diver 3 in a day might be no problem, so I would advise you to be honest with yourself when assessing your dive fitness and limitations.
 
Dos ojos and chac mool are usually done by themselves as you do 2 dives in each... taj is a single dive cenote. So if you were to attempt all 3 in one day ( a very long day mind you), then will you be doing 5 dives?
 
Nico at www.cenotexperience.com.mx does 3 cenote dives a day. I do it all the time with him. Usually you will 2 dives at one cenote and the third dive at another cenote. Give him a shout and he will hook you up.
 
Decided against too much to get in one day. We decided to another day of diving while there instead of a day of rest.
 
If you are doing three cenote dives in a day, I suggest a bit more rubber than what you normally dive the ocean in. I normally dive in a 3mil and prefer a five with a hood in the cenotes.
