Diver "Vanishes" In Portal To Maya Underworld

This National Geographic video was posted in the Advanced Scuba Discussions board. Very cool.

I can't do videos on this slow connection. Where is that?
There is another Blue Hole (a national park) up on the Hummingbird Hwy which I hear is an opening into a cave complex.

Sorry you can't see it.

It's a National Geographic video of scientists looking for Mayan artifacts. Per the narrator, "The research is being conducted under the auspices of the Belize Institute of Archeology." The video shows a diver disappearing down into an upwelling at the bottom of a crater.

As far as where they're diving, she says, "The dives were made in several pools in central Belize in an area known as Cara Blanca. The researches found evidence that eight pools of the twenty five they studied are likely connected through underground passages."

I'm not familiar with that area.

This was filmed by a friend of mine here in San Pedro. He also does lots of filming in the cenotes of the Yucatan. Great video and great expedition.
