The same little pool of water down the steps in the cave was also used to dive the Kukulcan site. There is another larger entrance to this cavern outside but Pancho our Divemaster guide thought he'd take us the more difficult route, seeing as we seemed so confident. More difficult because you have to dive through a small gap in the rocks to get into the main cavern, but what fun that was! This felt like real cavern diving. Little did we know on this dive that a professional photographer was swimming around in the dark taking our pictures so he could wait for us to come out and charge us extortionate money for them! What a good idea he had cos when we saw the pics, we simply had to have them and you can see why! The pics even take away the actual darkness of the cavern the way they've been professionally exposed, but believe us, without your torches you'd definitely be in a whole lotta trouble.

One to keep for the scrapbook

Whatever you do, don't lose the guide rope!

With pictures like this you know you're diving somewhere tropical
