Never heard of a tidal surge in a cenote, but it has to happen. A cenote may travel more than 100 miles to it's opening in the ocean. I started my cenote dive in an inland forest in the Yucatan. A small freshwater pond in the middle of the jungle miles from the coast. Bizarre!

One danger is the silt at the bottom. You have to be very disciplined. If you stir up the silt you can have a complete blackout. You cannot see and cannot tell up from down. Good luck finding that bit of twine that leads to out under those conditions!
