We were just on the budget those days and we had all the time in the world so why not?\u2028\u2028As we descend, the cave gets smaller and smaller and it feels that we are diving in a funnel.<\/p>\n<p>Once we reach the smallest part of the cave, it opens at about 30m depth on a massive room highly decorated with mineral bells in a hydrogen sulfide layer.<br \/>\nWe cross that layer and get to our maximum depth. \u2028The cave keeps going down to about 60m or a bit deeper, where a giant sloth skeleton is laying but we don\u2019t get to that par as we didn\u2019t plan to go down there. Remember, plan the dive, dive the plan. \u2028While we swim around that massive depression we admire that beautiful bell graveyard covered with white silt in this spooky atmosphere. Those bells are massive, I\u2019m glad I wasn\u2019t down there when they collapsed and hit the ground, can\u2019t event think of the mess it made down there.<\/p>\n<p>As I was leading we turned around the Cenote, back and forth all along the walls admiring all the different shaped bells and their sweet little details from above and under. \u2028When we hit our bottom time limit, we started our ascent back into the funnel. Not a great place to look at each other, face to face in diamond position while ascending on that tight cave but the more we ascend, the more comfortable it gets. It\u2019s good practice to not move our fins too much and keep the awareness of our environment.<br \/>\nThe deco went smoothly, our last stop at 3m as there are no waves at all so it was easy.<br \/>\nFun easy little dive, we\u2019re happy to have driven this long way, even for this tiny dive, as long as we don\u2019t do it every week hehe.<br \/>\nGood day!<\/p>\n<p>JC.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shannon, Jakob (Prorec) and I (JC) decided to do one our monthly deco dive in Cenote Zapote, Puerto Morelos, a little further than we\u2019re used to and get to know a little better some of the Cenotes we don\u2019t get to dive so often.
