Open Daily. The entrance fee for divers is 10 USD. There are no toilets or changing facilities. There is a parking area with tables to set up dive equipment. Fairly difficult access with a long walk over a rough trail to the water and a 3m/10ft giant stride entry and ladder to exit. Permanent Gold Cavern Line. Maximum depth 16m/53ft. Halocline depth 14m/46ft. Calavera, which is Spanish for Skull, is the first cenote you come to on the Coba Road 5 minutes from Tulum. The cenote gets its grim name from the 3 circular openings in the roof of the cave that resemble the eye sockets and mouth of a skull when viewed from above. Calavera is also known as Temple of Doom, the name of the cave system that it was once a part of. Sistema Temple of Doom was connected to Sistema Sac Actun in 2007 and is now a part of that gigantic cave system rather than a separate cave system in its own right. The dive begins with an adventurous 3m/10ft giant stride entry into the mouth of the skull. Floating at the surface you will see that you are in a large underground chamber only part of which you can see from above. This is home to Fruit Bats, Cave Swifts and Motmots which you will see above you roosting in the walls and ceiling of the cave. As you descend you will find a prominent Talus Cone (debris mound) in the center of the cenote and the start of the permanent Cavern Line beginning at a depth of 6m/20ft. Following the line leads deeper down the side of the Talus cone until reaching a depth of 16m/53ft at which point it then circumnavigates the entire cenote in the Cavern Zone. During the dive you will spiral back up the walls from this depth as you complete several circuits of the cenote so that you are able to see and enjoy as much as possible of this unique site. The light beams streaming down through the skull openings create a wonderful display and help to illuminate the white walls and formations of the cavern. There are many hidden nooks and crannies to explore and lots of fossils to discover. The diffuse and multilayered halocline creates many intriguing visual effects to enchant the diver.

Caverns of Darkness Engine[edit]
Caverns of Darkness Engine (or CoD Engine) is a source modification created by Joel Murdoch and based on Eternity Engine v3.29. The COD.EXE file included in the PWAD's archive is a source modification compiled for MS-DOS. To play Caverns of Darkness in Windows operating systems, a DOS emulator such as DosBox must be used. The binary adds more level editing features including:
- a new instant-death sector type for players falling into a black void
- a healing sector type that gives players health
- two new lighting effects to adjust sector brightness by 15
- looping ambient sounds
- additional attacks for the Archvile and Cyberdemon
On May 4, 2002, The Chaos Crew member Christopher Lutz published Joel's source code to the team's web site. However with the file stored on Joel's personal hosting, the link eventually went dead and the source became unavailable for more than a decade. On May 26, 2019 Joel Murdoch re-uploaded the source and posted a new download link to the Doomworld forums. It was made available on the idgames archive on January 31, 2020.

ZDoom version[edit]
On January 23, 2005, Graf Zahl supplied a source modification called ZDOOM-COD.EXE, derived from ZDoom 2.0.96 that made the necessary additions to play Caverns of Darkness. It reports in-game as ZDoom 2.0.96c (COD custom). On November 15, 2008, he released a CoD PWAD patch to instead allow the levels to be played using the regular ZDoom build. It substitutes DECORATE actors in place of the original hard-coded custom thing types and weapons, as well as using MAPINFO to apply map translators that replace the CoD engine's new sector and linedef types.
