I had a chance to dive (explore) in a new cenote today. My buddies and I laid in around 700 to 900 feet of line in this our first dive. Hundreds if not thousands of stalactites. Many of them were three to four feet long and only four to five inches in diameter at their fattest. Really long, narrow and delicate. I'm calling the cenote "Hatz Utz Aktun" which means "Pretty Cave" in Maya. It's around five miles south of Tulum on some Ejido property about a quarter mile in the jungle. Lots of fun. The cenote looks like a big puddle about 20 feet wide by 30 feet long. The entrance is a minor restriction with some silt on the bottom, so the first one in has good visibility, the second one in has a little visibility and the third one in (me, of course), goes in blind. But once in the cave, there are some large, highly decorated rooms with numerous connecting passages. The 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 know or better yet, contact Fernando Davila at ferdivetulum@pr*.ne*.mx* or 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 you'd like to do some cave exploring, let's hear from you. Take care and dive safe, Scott ------=_NextPart_000_0016_01C05B65.32D94C20 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><FONT color=3D#0000ff face=3DArial size=3D4><SPAN = class=3D780460212-01122000>Scott,=20 why don't you hide this like everyone else, and then cut the line back = 400 feet,=20 and then take out all of your arrows and let Gerard put one or maybe two = red=20 ones in there and teach "full cave" in the middle of the stalactites to = divers=20 from Montana?</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV align=3Dleft class=3DOutlookMessageHeader dir=3Dltr><FONT = face=3DTahoma=20 size=3D2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> ScottBonis@ao*.co* = [mailto:ScottBonis@ao*.co*]<BR><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, November 30, = 2000 7:55=20 PM<BR><B>To:</B> cavers@cavers.com<BR><B>Cc:</B>=20 ferdivetulum@pr*.ne*.mx*<BR><B>Subject:</B> New=20 cenote<BR><BR></DIV></FONT><FONT size=3D2>Hi gang, <BR><BR>Just a = quick note to=20 let you in on some exciting news for me.
