Another cave diving clip

[Belmont]

Here is a clip from a cave dive I did with my daughter and a friend, last March, at Dos Ojos, Mexico

I am very proud to say that she had a total of fifty dives after OW when she started intro to cave.

We are both DIR trained.

Some procedures might seem incomplete due to editing.

We were asked to fin very slowly to give the videographer enough time to set his shots up.

I will answer any questions with pleasure.

cool video!

stop me if this is a weird question but...is there silt in mexican caves?

 

[Belmont]

Yes, the flow is so weak there is a lot of silt in some places, mainly downstream.
There are many places where the floor is very uneven and silt is accumulated in cracks and holes thus not easily disturbed.

The silt in MX is different from the sticky, excruciatingly fine stuff in the bottom of the caves in FL. In MX, the bottoms range from limestone sand, to white silt, to a finer, grey silt, to mung (which is the easiest to stir up). Nothing I've run into there is quite like that gummy red stuff we swam through in Twin.

Who taught your daughter's cave class? She's doing a very nice job.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all for your nice comments.

We enjoy this activity so much and it's nice to share it.

More so with people who are the only ones who can understand the experience because they lived it.

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing.

I have a question regarding water temp. Were the gloves necessary due to cold or was it just what you're used to?
