Trip report: Under the Jungle

[halocline]

Howdy,

I just completed Intro to cave with an excellent new dive shop in Mexico, Under the Jungle. The shop is co-owned by Natalie Gibb and Vince Rouquette Cathala. Both are excellent instructors, guides, and are really cool people. The shop is located at the entrance to the Tajma Ha cenote, about 20 miles south of Playa. I got so much out of working with Vince on the course and I had a terrific time. I had done several cavern dives previously with Nat. Highly recommended for training, guiding, or anything cave-related! http://www.underthejungle.com/

Here's a photo from some video we shot at Chikin Ha.

Great to see Cavern Dives leading on to a Cert. Well done !
Thumbs up for Under the Jungle too - I've done Cave dives with both Nat and Vince and enjoyed them both.

I'm heading down in November...flight booked. I've been chatting with Natalie and she sure seems awesome!

Natalie is wonderful, as is the cenote diving in the region. You will have a great time. I last dove with Nat in May and hope to be back down in November as well.

Natalie guided me to a couple of cenote diving back in July 2011. I think they were Taj Mahal & Chac Mool. It's amazing that this tiny girl can carry twin tanks by herself up & down the stairs.

8 of us plan to cenote diving with Nat & Vince on Feb after Sailfish run.

Cool picture. It looks like you were entering the halocline, halocline (heading home).

I have done a few dives with Nat, and used them as a base for my own diving - excellent shop, excellent people. They love what they're doing, and are great at it.
