Yucatan caves.....

I have been privilaged to dive many of the caves along the Riviera Maya. Unfortunately, caves that we dove just a couple of years ago are no longer safe due to the raw sewage. These caves are treasures that may soon be lost forever to the diver but more importantly to the fragile eco system. The article mentions a "minor cave sytem near the resort of Puerto Aventuras has already been pmped full of sewage," I have been in that cave system and it was not a MINOR system. It was a beautiful cave. Let's just hope that the Mexican government can do something before all the caves are lost. :(
