Short Video of Cavern Choc Mool Cenote Mexico

Heres a link to a short video taken last weekend while in the Mexican Mayan Riveria. My buddy and I made a scuba dive in an underwater cavern, a "Cenote" while there. It was an amazing experience and I'm ready to try it again.

Thanks Mike!

Looks like fun, pardon my ignorance, I've never been there, Wouldn't be a good idea to have a line with you?

Theres NO WAY that I would have done that "on my own". We were part of a guided Cavern Dive, which some dive shops in the area offer for experienced certified diver. We dove with a shop named Manta Divers, and they were really safety oriented, gave a great briefing and was attentive to our air and situation at all times. A certified cave diving instructor led our group of 4 divers. We followed him, and only penetrated just a little ways into the system. Plus, there were also permanent lines all about the system. We made two separate dives in the day, with a max. depth of about 45 feet.

By their accounts, this cavern area in Mexico is one of the best in the world for cavern diving. I highly recommend taking a guided cavern dive if you happen to get to the area, are a comfortable diver with an overhead environment. I'm ready to do it again.

Yeah, I noticed the lead diver had twins. Looks like a blast. Thanks for sharing your fun.

Cheers,

Very nice video. It brought back memories as my family and I dove several cenotes, including Choc Mool, last summer. My whole family loved the beautiful formations in the Mexican cenotes. However, I still can't get them to go cave diving with me!!
