Diving photos

Here are some photos from diving!

Starting with my only two photos from The Pit. It’s a big hole in the ground…so cool!

This line is our direction through the caves, there are two lines running through this section and they loop around back to the beginning. I’m told that they are also used for actual cave divers to find their way back from when they go out and lay their own lines into dark caves.

I was told that this is the “Barbie line” so named because an alligator ate a tourist named Barbie. And that the alligator was still out there…Erik made a chompy hand signal when we reached this…I shook my head and you couldn’t see my “funny…” face because of the regulator. 😛

This is a picture of our air bubbles collecting in the rock crevasses. Because, of course, it has no where else to go down there!

We swam to the “bat cave”. So called because of the bats…

This is the snorkelling area. Miranda and I came back here the next day because I absolutely had to show her this!!

Yesterday

So now I’m on the iPad…installed wordpress and have gone through yesterday’s photos…but now it’s time for sleeping, so I have only a video to show you from yesterday’s haul. It’s from in the middle of diving Dos Ojos, my new favourite place. It’s “cavern diving” not “cave diving” so it’s ok. The difference being that in cavern, you are always within 150ft (I think) of visible, unobstructed surface air. The dive is no deeper than about 10 to 25 feet, but man is it cool! So cool that I convinced Miranda to go there to snorkel today!

Most of the dive looks like this, swimming through underground passages and around rocks and such.

Most of the photos weren’t great anyway, since it’s bloody dark in underground caves, but I think I have enough to show you the gist of it. Tomorrow…

You’ll have to wait for an update on today though…such is life with a backlog.

Good news, bad news.

Good news is that I should have some video and photos of my dives to share tomorrow. Bad news is that this is because my good camera went swimming, so I used my waterproof point and shoot on Dos Ojos, which means I can transfer photos.

I shouldn’t be allowed near water with electronics of any kind.
