Welcome to the Cave Diver's Forum.

Good segment! One personal note, "murky water" ???
If Lake Erie was always that "murky", I'd never have to go down to Florida again!
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Hey, Walter.
Cool stuff! Can you provide the names of the other participants? BTW, you think the chocolate pot was sacrificed as part of a ritual rather than being inadvertently dropped while someone was retrieving water?

Pardon my ignorance, but from the statement Josh made toward the end, my assumption is he is cave trained previously, or was just prior to this shoot?
There are 3 kinds of people in this world; those who are good at math, and those who are not.

The pot and other pots in this particular hole are an anomaly. We are 100 km from any known Mayan sites. There is one sacrificial funerary urn but all the others (15+) are for use. It is an odd little system found by Brett Hemphill and Mike Young in 2010 (last day, last hole, last dive -- it always happens that way).
No one has mentioned the tandem drop Jon Bojar and I did (I am on the left, Jon on the right). We actually did that in one take.
That was cool...did we hear the 'actual' splash?

Im pretty sure that was my fat a$$. Curt was filming from a bosen's ladder hanging at about 40'...the better shot was of him filming.
So here are some pieces of this whole thing...
