Danny at the entrance to Chac Mol. A great dive I hadn't been to in a while. Chac Mol cenote. I enjoyed 2 fabulous dives here with Danny, Joe, Laurynn and Dave. We also dove Nah Hoch Na Chich that morning. GREAT DIVES! Jungle around Chac Mol.

Joe, pre-dive, doing his tourist thing! Checking out the "new" cenote... a last minute adventure. The road was just cut through so the van could get about 3/4 of the way in. Patching holes in the path.

The cenote entrance. See the slot in the rocks.... The Very Professional Dive Exploration van. <G> Danny checks out the best entry point.

For contrast, this was the cenote entrance with Danny standing next to it. Looking for an entrance... is there one? A beautiful setting in the Yucatan, for a nice cave dive.

Going in to check out setting up the gear in the hole. The Road into the cenote. Setting up the camera while braving the masses of mosquito's with no bug repellent to be found. eek!

The VPDEV is a perfect set up area. Danny poses for the camera on the roadside. The entrance to the cenote we dove that day. This was the first site as we headed into the cave.

Percolation from the cave kept visibility a challenge. A few moments of beautiful scenery, then milky water... amazing. Another scene from the cave. Note the percolation, which is simply from our exhalation bubbles! A very fragile system. A telltale sign of how long since someone has been here... note the dirty line arrow. A very cool dive.

Silt layer on the bottom is a very soft mud. Stir it up and it's like chocolate milk. The ceiling percolation was white... kind of like a swirl ice cream! The final clue to determine our exact location in this particular cenote. Awesome! A shot in the other side of the cenote from where we entered. The Cenote was crescent shaped, we returned and exited where we came in.

Danny and I in the Cenote after returning from our dive. Great fun and thank you to Danny for taking me on this great little adventure!
