Some video of Mexico caves from Feb 2008

We had 9 days of diving in Feb. Below are links to some of the videos (approx 30-50M d/load each)

1) Dos Palmos downstream line (This is a section of the grand traverse from Dos Ojos to Tapirs end/Monolito). We did the section of cave from Dos Palmos toward Cenote High Voltage

2) Dos Palmos Upstream (toward Dos Ojos)
The other direction -- much bigger cave, a bit less decorated but beautiful.

Dos Palmos is one of the few caves in Mx where I can notice a level of flow (esp. when towing a video camera)

3) Naharon (the black cave). Two dives -- one on the main line, one on the Descondido dome line.

4) Nohoch Na Chich (Giant Birdcage/house) To me, the most beautifully decorated cave I have seen so far.

This dive was on Parkers line, then taking the left at the "T" to continue on Charlies line (approx 2000 feet penetration)

5) Taj Mahal downstream lines. Two dives (one one the DCS dome, one on the "white" line -- not sure the name)

6) Wizards den (a room inside of the line from Cenote X'tabay/Chikin Ha)
A beautiful room that looks like two wizards were going at it. Stuff that used to be on the ceiling is everywhere ... Unfortunately, a class had just done a blind exit right before we entered so the water was not as clear as maybe it could be.

Thanks guys. The caves are so awesome that I feel itchy if I dont have a trip planned, so I had to book one for May

Will also be out in the Red Sea early August if anyone's in that area ...
