Here are some photos' from our dive in Nohoch yesterday. Nohoch is a truly beautiful cave, and it is really shallow allowing for a long dive. We decided we wanted to bring the scooters along, plus 3 stages to see how far we could get. We had to lower the gear down using ropes, because we didn't want to carry all the gear. The scooters alone weigh 90lbs so hauling them up and down the stairs is a huge job.
Description of the photos: Fernando and one of the men at the cenote lowering gear. And Kim working at the bottom of the rope to unload the gear. And John, Kim and Fernando gearing up. View of cave entrance and another view of the cenote.
The dive was awesome and it lasted over 3 hours so by the time we got out it was almost sunset. At the beginning of the dive, one of the scooters wouldn't work so John and Fernando drove back to the house to get the spare motor while Kim and I watched over the gear. In the meantime, it poured like crazy and cleared up just as fast.
Today we dove Chan -Hol again, took another look at the pots and went down some lines that we had never been down.
Less than 1 week left on our Mexico vacation.
PS: I got a email from our friend Bill, who had an adventure of his own last weekend. He encountered a 12-16 ft Great White on a dive at Catalina Island. All was well, and no one got hurt. What an amazing experience. I can say that because I didn't see it....totally different response if I would have been there :)
Here is a picture of a great white from another friend, Sean. He dove with them this summer.
Below is his photo.
