@ROXANNE Thanks for the mapping info effort. Just wondering, the resort layout looks like it requires divers will have to do a lot of walking during the day…. not very relaxing. Is that a fair assessment?You can walk across the street from the lobby or there is also a tunnel that crosses under the road. All hotel guests have access to the pool and waterfront areas. I drew on an overhead view to give everyone a little layout of the resort.

We are going to Dive Dream Gate Cenote
Your guide has the redundancy. If I remember correctly it's one cave certified diver with doubles for every three or four divers. And you're never out of sight of daylight.OK I really, really, really want to do this!!,
But I have some Qs ...
Is that video supposed to be representative of the tour that will be undertaken? From the video, it appears to be a longish Full-Cave transit, not even remotely close to cavern limits. Is there a listed route map somewhere for a cavern dive?
What options for gas redundancy will be available? My understanding is that no full cylinders can be carried on the ferries (regardless, my smallish pony is probably not up to that sort of range if it is beyond cavern limits.) Individual gas redundancy is a pretty basic safety requirement in an overhead environment.
