I dove the cenote part of Chac Mool last year. It's an awesome dive, I would recommend it to anyone.

I have done the exact same dive (Chak Mool) 4 times. Its about 45 miles or so south west of Cancun. Its one of the more popular "cavern" dive locations in the area. Its easily accessible from either Cancun -to- Playa Del Carmen. A really fun dive that I would reccomend to anyone. I am a 6'5", 235lbs (mostly muscle...lol) and I never felt cramped or claustrophobic so its a pretty friendly site overall. Like any other Cenote' the water is crystal clear and pretty warm too but I would advice at least a 3MM shortie (I always wear some kind of exposure protection) for thermal reasons or a full suit because you might get a scrape or two. After all, its a dang cave!. I dove it as part of my cavern diver cert back in March 06.

That's a nice vid. Almost made me feel like I would do a cave dive.
I can see why there is interest in that kind of diving.
What's the name of that 'kick' most of them were doing? Is that the flutter?

Frog.

To the OP, sweet vid

 

[H2Andy]

yeah... they were doing sort of a mix of the frog kick and a sloppy modified frog:

here's what a modified flutter looks like (the full flutter doesn't bend the knees
that much, but the fins still go up and down)

Ok, cool.
I can see that these are ment to be used to prevent kicking up silt, etc.
Got something to learn.
Thanks.
