Team Explorers


Today I was invited to join a team of explorers and use my mapping skills. Jeronimo and Flor de Maria are accomplished cave divers and so they were called upon to dive an underground cenote by the owner who wants to know what is under the surface of his land.
Peter and I mapped the surface with my GPS while the rest of the team went below. There is a small opening with a ladder and the tanks had to be lowered down to the surface of the water....about 20 feet...a nice big cave that was great for swimming too....then with their lights and compass and LOTS of other gear they took off in the crevices of the underworld!! An hour and a half later they came up in another cenote. Wow!! What an incredible day!
