I'm looking to do TDI full cave and TDI stage cave somewhere next year. But I'm already trying to find a dive center, I'm located in Europe so was hoping someone here has experience with any of the dive centers in Mexico to do these courses.
Not the prettiest, but quite a fun dive with this little visibility!
The salinity, density, flow, and temperature all conspire to create the halocline. It’s the stratified interface where the freshwater of the underground rivers of the Yucatán sits on top of the intrusion of the Gulf/Caribbean directly into the peninsula.
It is a little hard to film, to convey the real experience of what swimming (or scootering) through the thin, blurry layer really feels like.
This video gives some vague impression, at least, of what it feels like when you’re trying to hold a video light in the same hand you’re driving the scooter with and holding a GoPro out at an arm’s length with the other hand.
I've been developing an interest in understanding cave divers and the caves they choose to explore. Although there can be some extreme cases, I find this hobby/interest as something I never thought of before.
I'm curious to know how did this interest develop? What led you to believe that it's something you'll want to explore? And are you scared of the unforseen events that might take place?
OC trimix 13/47 with DPV in the downstream section of Eagles Nest Cave in Hernando Florida USA. Went through the pit to the deep section. Depth after the pit was 292ffw. Air as travel and deep deco, 46% mid deco, and 100% 20ft and 10ft deco. Total run time 2:06:25. Such a fun dive!
