Mexican Cenote Dive Video

[MikeMeagher]

Heres a short video taken last year when a buddy and I were in Mexico. We dove one of the Cenote's.. an underwater cave. It was a guided tour... and we had an amazing dive. The water was very clear.. I'd say easily 200' vis but the guides said it was more. If you ever get that way make the effort to do one of these dives with a guide.

This was taken with a sony HC7 in a Gates housing, WP25 port, and Light and Motion Sunray 1000 LED lights.

You caught the halocline (salt water mixes with the fresh water) in the cenotes about one minute and 40 mins into the video. You're making me miss the cenotes. :depressed:

Thanks Mike for posting the video.

Thanks,.. yea I wasnt the first diver in the cave system that day.. so the halocline was beginning to get a little mixed up by the time I went thru it. But that was cool indeed. Yes indeed.. I need to get there again soon!

We really enjoyed our cenote dives there last year and we want to go back again and do a whole week of diving different ones along with visiting more of the ruins. We are going back to Cozumel next month and just staying over there the whole time.. at least that is the plan for now.

Chac Mool and Taj Mahal were the first two cenotes my wife and I dove about five years ago, and got hooked. Every December since then we go to the Yucatan, and our highest priority is deciding which cenotes to dive while we are there. This past December we did Angelita and Casa Cenote.

Thanks for a great video, it really brought the experience back to life.
