A Little Cave 1 Science Adventure in the Mx Cenotes

[kathydee]

After taking GUE Cave 1 in November, it was impossible to resist the call back to the Mexican Centoes . By March their magnetic force had pulled us back down south of the border for a bunch more C1 diving!

We were off on a little adventure, when our local GUE dive club invited us to retrieve data from adopted sensors previously placed within Cave 1 limits. Turns out its great fun to visit a cave a little ways off the beaten C1 scuba tourist track and hunt down hidden sensors to add a small contribution to science!!!




What a great reward for all the hard work in Fundies & Cave 1 ;-D!

Thanks to Kevin Dow and Fred Devos for mentoring us on the project. Stick around after the credits for a very short tour of Zero Gravity Dive shop .

cool video

contributing to a project like that is a good time and working like that back in the cave is a good way to build quality experience

I'm having tons of trouble getting the whole video to run . . . but where was this that you had a sensor hooked to a CHAIN?

I've got to pull mine at the end of May. Jason and I tried to do it in April, but the viz was so bad, we couldn't find the passage!

Hi Lynne,

It's a chain with three sensors below/above the halocline to record different data, doubt you know the cave. Are you heading back down to Mx soon?
