Mexican Cenotes Trip

Headed back down to the Mx warm water to put this Cave 1 card to good use.

We took a little video near the cavern zone yesterday to share the beauty:

Superb!

Wow, amazing footage. Water appears to be completely motionless. Why did you guys use drysuits? I would think that even at an hour, with 77 degree water, it would have been quite comfortable in a thin wetsuit.

I found the 30 to 45 minutes dives I did in the cavern zone to be quite comfortable in a wetsuit. The hour-long dives in my Cave 1 class, plus the OW debriefs, left me shivering. A dry suit makes long cave dives (which are in the dark, so no sunlight to warm anything) very pleasant.

Great video!

You must have been boiling hot in those drysuits! Looks like a fun dive, thanks for sharing the video, glad you even saw some fish in the cenote! I was happy with just a full 3 mil for exposure protection.

Wow,

Those caves at times look spooky...

I'm quite comfortable diving here in my dry suit with 300 polartec fleece UG's, 5mm hood and no gloves. Often we are doing 3-4 short dives a day.

And yes the water is delightfully clear still and clear

Not even slightly warm, it's perfect

I have been boiling hot in my dry suit in Mexico . . . but only until I hit the water. Two hours later, I'm very glad of it

Where were you diving at in MX. I just came from down there (spent four months in Playa del Carmen) I have a great many cave Instructor buddies and Cave guide buddies down there. I did some cavern dives down there in Eden and a couple other spots.
Glad you had fun!
