San Agustin 2013 - Exploration in Sistema Huautla

[casjcave]

Hi all,

Just wanted to spread the word on this recent expedition. This was the cave that Bill Stone developed the original CIS Lunar rebreather for so it has played a big part in the history and development of cave diving - especially in the US. The last big exped here was in 94 using the MK4.

19 years later we put a team of 5 divers beyond sump 1 and 2 and between the two lead RB divers reached 81m, 440m in to sump 9. This re-established Sistema Huautla as the deepest cave in the Western Hemisphere at 1,545m. Our rebreather approach was very different to that in 94 - simple and manual using the KISS approach.

Will eventually get full report, videos and lots of photos on the expedition website but processing all the post exped stuff takes a while. In the mean time the facebook site has most of the photos. There is also a preview videoand longer description of the exped on the main website
