Ojo de Agua is a small underwater cenote just off the beach at Puerto Morelos on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, a freshwater spring emerging through the coastal limestone close enough to shore that swimmers reach it directly from the sand. It is a popular snorkeling spot known locally for the fish that gather around the spring's outflow. This entity documents Ojo de Agua specifically as a geological formation, an offshore spring-fed karst feature distinct from the many named inland cenotes already documented on this atlas.
