Hey Gang,
I just got back from 4 days diving the cenotes in Tulum. WOW!! It was awesome stuff. I dove Calavera, Grand Cenote, Car Wash, and another one that I can't remember the name of. We filmed a segment for Blue World (http://www.blueworldtv.com) on cenotes, and also did some filming in the mangroves for another segment. Very cool. For those of you who haven't done the cenote thing, you should check it out.

I was shooting video, so I haven't got any stills, but I'll post a few frame grabs in a couple days when I get some video captured.

P.S. I dove with Marco Wagner, the owner and cave instructor from H2O Pro Diving (http://www.h2oprodiving.com/). He was excellent! I highly recommend his shop. He also owns a small hotel on the property. Next time I go down, I'm going to stay there so I'm conveniently located on the premises of the dive shop!

Excellent Jonathan.

I was also in Mexico Quintana Roo last winter doing cave diving. It was awesome experience. beautifull formations and very clear water. If you need some time certified cave diver to you team, so I can join with you.

I'll tell you, I never thought I would love cenote diving as much as I do. Not much marine life, but the formations are stunningly beautiful and the geology behind it is fascinating. It's going to be a really really cool segment. I'm capturing footage right now and I put a blog page up here:

We didn't have time in our 3 day shoot for any U/W still photography, so here are a couple video frame grabs of me from Tim's camera.

I have some topside pics I'll post later....
