Traced from the 2017 Sistema Taj Mahal survey by Marcelin Nebenhaus (a photo of the banner at the cenote), cross-checked with Steve Gerrard's 2001 compass map (wetworx.nl) and QRSS/AMCS map 3540 for names such as Bil's Hole and the Points of Light airdome. It shows the main lines, the golden cavern loop past Cenote Sugarbowl, Steve's Loft and the line past the Deep Bones Room (23.8 m, the deepest point); most short secondary lines are left out. Depths are the survey's feet converted to metres, and the metre labels at ends and T's are the survey's distance from Cenote Taj Mahal; the survey's connection arrows from the basin to the main lines are drawn as jumps. Scale is from the banner's scale bar on a photo with some perspective, so positions are approximate; the bat cave and the halocline are not located on any source and are not drawn.

Tajma Ha is a system in its own right, sitting immediately north-west of Sistema Minotauro and draining into it. Water sampling shows the two share the same water; a collapse between them has defeated every attempt to find a way through. Sixty metres apart, hydrologically one cave, cartographically two.

The cenote itself is one of the prettier ones — several skylights, strong light beams through the fresh water in the morning, a well-decorated cavern zone, and a halocline for the cave dives behind.

Seventeen dives between February 2022 and February 2026, including part of the Cave 2 course. Longest 158 minutes.

The stored position used to be Avenida TajMa Ha, a street in Puerto Aventuras named after the cenote 5.6 km away, and sixteen dives sat on it.
