Traced from the cave-ha.com Dos Pisos cave lines map (Alex Vronsky 2024 lines over the Nadia Bernie 2010 survey); the scale comes from the 150 ft scale bar on the Bernie survey sheet in the owner's vault and passage names from that sheet. The line starts out of the water and runs through about 60 m of small, silty passage; the main route runs NW to Cenote Dos Pisos Norte (about 1 km), the western lines continue toward the Monkey Dust section. Depths and penetration marks on the survey are unreadable at the scan's resolution and are left out, except that the survey marks about 3,480 ft (≈1,060 m) of penetration at Dos Pisos Norte (system average about 6 m, maximum 24.4 m). Positions are approximate.

Sistema Dos Pisos is 14 176 m long and 24.4 m deep at its deepest, with five cenote entrances: Balam, Dos Pisos, Dos Pisos Norte, Monkey Dust and Zooz.

The name — two floors — describes the cave: the passage runs at two distinct levels over much of its length, with the upper gallery decorated and the lower one running through the halocline.

Three dives on a single day, 4 March 2025, none deeper than 6.4 m, one of 114 minutes. That profile is the whole argument for cenote diving: nearly two hours underwater at snorkelling depth with no decompression obligation at all.
