Interesting Article on Cenote Aerolito on Cozumel
Our group had the pleasure of diving this cenote last June during the Cocodrillo expedition. Thar be critters in thar!It is sad to note the possibility of the marina expansion destroying this beautiful place.
It's the very last article listed here: http://caves.org/pub/journal/Express...blications.htm

Anybody can be calm and centered with a few candles, some incense, quiet peaceful surroundings...the trick in life is to clear your head and find that calm spot in a *poo*storm...to filter out distractions in a beehive world and focus on simple, true things. - Bob Bates

Aerolito is by far one of the most interesting systems I have ever dove. It would be a travesty if it was lost due to sprawl. Hopefully we will be diving it again soon Shirley!

Good catch, Shirley. Thanks. Bummed, though, that they didn't have illustrations. POLYCHAETOUS ANNELIDS don't have hard parts, so I'm not any good at knowing what they look like!

"POLYCHAETOUS ANNELIDS don't have hard parts" It all depends on how you talk to him Babs..

Yes, disappointing, them not having hard parts.
I did find this one photo of an apparent invasive species found both above and below the surface at this location. They appear to be quite adaptable and mobile, quickly moving into a location and taking over! Beware, as these omnivorous specimens appear to become quite aggitated when on the surface for long periods, preferring, apparently, the dark, underwater environs.

Yeah, but hanging around with "people" (worms?) like you, I've forgotten how to be sweet!!!
