    While cavern zone is really beautiful, deeper it's all dark wet rocks.

    Oh, Nick, the one with the clouds is stunning!

    Why does everybody under the sun seem to be posting Mexican cave diving pictures, when I'm trying to make the emotional adjustment to being home?

    Dang it. Stop pushing the cave crack. Just stop it! It isn't fair and it isn't nice.

    Beautiful shots, hit me with some more mang!

    But but but.. on boats you get surge, passages are tidy and well laid out, and most importantly they have inhabitants you can harass. Way more entertainment than trippy halocline.

    On the other hand I hear that navigation is easier with a line...

    They are tree branches that have fallen into the cenote.
