Eddie,
Just got back to states and checked archives. Your information was
correct...the property owner of Vaca Ha, "Don" Camillo Solice Acosta,
had at one time dug up the property believing he could enlarge the
surface pool. He has discontinued that attempt now, and the jungle is
replenishing itself. However, the cement collar of the old well is
a memory.
Incorrect info on the archives was that the DeRosa's "control" the site.
Last spring, Don Camillo and the DeRosas entered into a private business
transaction, and a cominbination lock was in place at that time. Their
business transaction was completed, and the key lock is controlled by
the owner. ALL divers pay 50 NP to the property owner to dive VacaHa.
A new ladder was installed by the owner last week. Many miss the
original "well" opening on the surface....it was definietely unique.
However, the change was made by the owner. What is done, is done...
The cave is still magnificent.
