I had a chanc= e=20 to dive (explore) in a new cenote today.=A0 My buddies and I laid in around=20= 700=20 to 900 feet of line in this our first dive. Hundreds if not thousands of=20 stalactites.=A0 Many of them were three to four feet long and only four to f= ive=20 inches in diameter at their fattest. Really long, narrow and delicate. I'm=20 calling the cenote "Hatz Utz Aktun" which means "Pretty Cave" in Maya.=A0 It= 's=20 around five miles south of Tulum on some Ejido property about a quarter mile= =20 in the jungle.=A0=A0 Lots of fun. The cenote looks like a big puddle about 20 feet wide by 30 feet long. The=20 entrance is a minor restriction with some silt on the bottom, so the first=20 one in has good visibility, the second one in has a little visibility and th= e=20 third one in (me, of course), goes in blind. But once in the cave, there ar= e=20 some large, highly decorated rooms with numerous connecting passages. The=20 average depth was around 40 to 45 feet. If you're going to be in the Tulum area and would like to know more, let me=20 know or better yet, contact Fernando Davila at ferdivetulum@pr*.ne*.mx* o= r=20 check out the Dive Tulum dive shop web site at www.divetulum.com.mx We're sure to make more dives into this system in the near future, so if=20 you'd like to do some cave exploring, let's hear from you. Take care and dive safe, Scott --part1_4a.e3ac6db.275850e8_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><FONT SIZE=3D2>Hi gang, <BR> <BR>Just a quick note to let you in on some exciting news for me.
