Anyone have a map location for Xu-Lo, I have the GPS coordinates for all the cenotes I visited this trip except Xu-Lo. For some reason Google Maps puts the location for that day in the middle of the Biosphere Reserve.
 
My notes show about 20 minutes south of Tulum on the right hand side of the road. Seems like it was not too far from the road. Probably not too far from Caterpillar. My cenote book says 20.0615N, 6276W

Adding an -87 to that gets pretty close to what I remember, just south of the Mayan town of Miyul. Thanks.
 
One of my favorite dives! Just shortly after Muyil there is a right hand turn with metal guard rail and just as the curve ends there is a old wetsuit scarecrow thing. That’s it. Gravel road in. Last year it was 300 Pesos. Toilets. Never any toilet tissue. Walk down the steps under a huge overhang. Line is at the surface on the right hand side. Xulo end if the line is a single stage dive. Double arrows jump left is the traverse to caterpillar single stage dive. Restriction at 1 hour. Any more questions- just ask. Enjoy!

I'm home, I just note the locations in my electronic dive log. But it pretty much matches what I experienced. On both lines I hit a point where I could go no further with my tanks on.

What lines did you dive?

Mainline and then jumped over to the Caterpillar line on the second dive.

I got to say the first couple of rooms were pretty amazing too. Particularly the one will all the roots.

I have some video, I need to figure out why the Youtube version isn't as good as what I put on Facebook.
