Cool stuff, thanks for the heads up. I made the mistake of tuning in an hour too early, 0818 eastern is 0718 here. Oh well how else would I have known Judge Judy was hospitalized with bad gas?:smt102

I thought I missed it but 7 hours later there it is. Thanks guys. Funny they mentioned murky when at the time it was crystal clear. Looks like alot of history left down there to explore.
I have added the video segment to my site if you haven't already seen it - http://j.mp/eDvph3
Walter hoping into those wells was one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time.
Your discoveries are very interesting and awesome contribution to the unraveling of the Mayan culture.
Please keep us posted on the new findings.
For cave divers this is the top of the shelf entertainment!
Thank you to you and the team for bringing these new findings to light.

JCG...It is 100% a team effort. Most times you drop a well/hole and you get nothing. The hole that the pot is in was found by Brett Hemphill and Mike Young on our 2010 trip. The BIG room that myself and Jon Bojar rappelled tandem into was my gift..I was the first ever to drop it. If it looks like it is filled with gasoline and cow dung Curt (Team Coordinator) will usually pick someone (not their turn) and tell them they are up. He did that to me this last trip and I ended up exploring the "Buford" of the Yucatan...just clearer water.
We explored about 120 holes in 2010 and only 43 this year. The first week this year was pretty much getting 27 hours of footage for that 5 minute segment. The "Chac Mol" award went to Jon Bojar for being the only person skinny enough to fit though a hole and drop a well we sounded to 195'. It bottomed out at 265'
Was the hole smaller than that one I droped by the pyramid? Wow 265' that's the deepest so far wasn't our deepest 230'
I think you and Brett did 240. The hole was different yours was simply a mole hole with pipes. Jon's was a well with slats cemented in. Both had the width of an 80 (barely), you both had to be pulled out :) Yours was BY FAR more fun to watch!Quote:

Best,
