Kaan Luum
Kaan Luum is a shallow turquoise lagoon south of Tulum with a deep, vertical-walled cenote in its centre, reported at about 80–85 m deep and roughly 25 m across. The deep centre is closed to swimmers, and travel sources say it is reserved for divers with guides. ProTec includes Kaan Luum in its list of cavern-tour cenotes, but no detailed dive profile was found.

- Unverified: Dive depth, route and current diving rules are not confirmed by an operator page; sources disagree on whether entry is allowed at all. The map pin marks the Kaan Luum lagoon, not the cenote entrance itself.
- Tips: Only with a guide/operator; ProTec lists it among its cavern-tour sites (some with a USD 30 surcharge). Given the depth, plan conservatively and confirm requirements with the operator. Lagoon entry fee is charged; check current.
