Technical Cave Diving

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

So, finally I’ve done it… After trying several times to take a Technical cave diving course and not being able to squeeze it into out plans, this time I managed to get in touch with Steve Bogaerds and organize the course over the last 3 days. Was really cool, and I learned a lot.

Yesterday, as certification dive we went to the Southern SacBé in sistema Naharon. A deeper and much darker cave that remembered me of our caves at home. I had a lot to do, dealing with 1 stage, 1 deco bottle, my doubles on the back, 70m of primary reel 3 jumps to the left, dropping the stage, go trough restrictions, halocline,… all very cool! and just now I’v got my little C-card ;D

179 min in Nohoch Nah Chich

Well, what to say, the 5th of December in Playa is becoming a traditional day for wonderful long cave dives: last year was 132 minutes in Sac Aktun going to cenote Bosh, this year 179min in Nohoch Nah Chic. Same as last year it was hard to organize the dive but it was mooooore than worthed! the dive plan Nico came up with involved 1 80cuft stage, 4 jumps and a couple of T-junction. we dove it smoothly and enjoyed a lot! thanks Nico
