CUEVA & CAVERNA

El buceo en el ambiente techado es una de las disciplinas más desafiantes que un buzo puede perseguir. Las poco profunda y decoradas cuevas de la Riviera Maya, forzan a los buzos a dominar su flotabilidad como en ningun otro ambiente, y las fragiles formaciones requieren que los buzos adquieran control preciso de cada movimiento de aletas. Aquí, aprenderás navegación compleja en las cuevas inundadas mas extensas del planeta, y serás introducido a la variedad y belleza de las cuevas de México.

If cave diving is one of my favorite things, cave

If cave diving is one of my favorite things, cave diving with underwater scooters (DPVs) and rebreathers may be my absolute favorite. There's something about silently zooming kilometers and kilometers underground that just hits differently. Here, my buddy and business partner, Vince, zooms along the mainline of Cenote Otoch Ha on our souped-up Black Tip DPVs.

Our shop, Under the Jungle, teaches everything from technical-style open water courses to sidemount/back mount basics, to cave diving specialties and advanced trimix. We can teach you to do this (and maybe even look as good as Vince!) If you are already a certified diver, you can experience cenotes on a guided cavern tour, and if you are a cave diver, we'd love to guide you in some of our favorite caves.

Winter sunshine at Cenote Ponderosa (El Eden) near

Winter sunshine at Cenote Ponderosa (El Eden) near Puerto Aventuras, Mexico. At my dive center, we specialize in overhead (in the caves) and technical diving. This includes guided cavern diving, an easy way for certified open-water divers to enjoy the Mexican cenotes and see what cavern diving is all about. Ponderosa is one the closest dive sites to our shop, and the light beams streaming into the cavern zone from the jungle are spectacular.

Divers often ask me, "What is your favorite cave dive?"

Choosing a favorite dive is difficult because the caves in the Riviera Maya are so diverse. Often, I feel that I am comparing apples and oranges. How does one compare the halocline in Ponderosa to the delicate formations in Nai Tucha? They are two completely different things. However, if I had to choose a favorite, I would choose this line. I was so happy to visit here yesterday, but these photos are from a little while ago featuring the wonderful @sev.regehr and his super scoots.

Cenote Minotauro has always been one of my favorit

Cenote Minotauro has always been one of my favorite caves. I call it a "cave diver's playground" because it's twisty and turn-y, has multiple levels and has various fun (and sometimes challenging) restrictions. Back in 2007, it was the first cave I fell in love with, and I have fond memories of borrowing my diver center's truck to sneak in a quick afternoon dive with friends whenever I could. Here, model Bre Butler poses in some of the iconic locations in the cave.

A portrait of diver Arjun Narayan, now a Stage Cave Diver, in Cenote Nohoch Nah Chich, part of the Sac Aktun Cave system in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. Arjun spent a few weeks with us honing his sidemount skills and working on his stage cave diver certification, and we couldn't resist celebrating at the end of his course with a little photo shoot. Now, he is off to apply his skills in caves all over the globe.

Fondly remembering this photoshoot with Lilia Cabr

Fondly remembering this photoshoot with Lilia Cabrera Gallaga (@mxscuba) last fall at Cenote Coop One. I'm disheartened that the Nai Tucha/Coop One entrance is currently closed to divers by the new management, but at least we cave divers know an alternate entrance. There are nearly infinite cave dives in the Riviera Maya if you know where to look, and we are always looking.

So far, 2024 has been a year of big adventures in

So far, 2024 has been a year of big adventures in cave diving - from dragging drysuits and backmount tanks through the desert, to surfacing in sumps in France, to watching a group of hardcore cavers drag my rebreather through the mud in Indonesia. Vince is currently diving in cold water caves in Switzerland, and I couldn't be happier with our adventures so far this year. I still think the drysuits in the desert incident wins the idiocy contest, though. Here are some photos from those dives, including an epic shot of Tyler Flynn, who somehow decided I wanted him to hover sideways. I don't know why.

Want to have big adventures in cave diving? We can help! Message info@underthejungle.com or reach out via DM here for more details.

Hopping back onto the social media horse after a little break with photos of Arjun R Nayaran that we shot after finishing his stage cave diver course right before I took off for Indonesia. He's progressed so far with his training, gaining experience around the world and refining his techniques and procedures. Proud to have my name on your Stage Cave Diver card, Arjun.

Cave diver @_tonywon was kind enough to model for

Cave diver @_tonywon was kind enough to model for me at Cenote Fenomena. This flooded cave near Tulum, Mexico, is what I think of as "pretty pretty white cave." It's a shallow (7-10m average depth) white cave filled with the most delicate and intricate formations imaginable.

Want to do this? We can help. Under the Jungle is a @tdidivers training center, and we teach everything from technical-style open water courses to cave diving specialities and advanced trimix. Shoot me a DM for more info.

There are a few caves in the Riviera Maya that have become my photographic muses; I can photograph them over and over again, never get bored, and always find something new. These images are from one of my favorite photoshoots this year at Cenote Nohoch Nah Chich. The model is @ramonsiliceo and the photos are by me, Natalie L Gibb.

Do you want to do this? We can help! Our dive center in Mexico is a @tdidivers training center. We teach everything from technical-style open water to courses, through full cave, advanced trimix, and JJ-CCR rebreather courses. Shoot me a PM for more info 🙂

Thanks to @xdeep_dive_gear and @diveshearwater for the support!

The jagged, scalloped edges of this tunnel in Landenouse cave in France just lend themselves to backlighting and silhouettes, don't they? Every year, our shop is running a Caves and Culture trip to the south of France where my business partner @vincent_rouquette_cathala grew up. It's amazing to see the area and the caves through the eyes of a native. DM me if you are interested in next year's trip. I loved it.

This cave is interesting, the upstream and the downstream are entirely different! The upstream has deeper, saltwater tunnels with fractal phreatic walls and the downstream is full of golden formations and coral fossils, with an extremely picturesque halocline. These images are from the upstream cave. Want to do this? We can help!

Two things about Font de Truffe made the cave fascinating to me: (1) the round tubes and tunnels that made some of my photos look like eyes, with Vince as the pupil, and (2) the tannic green water. We were lucky enough to have nearly no-flow conditions and infinite visibility during our dives at Font de Truffe during our cave diving trip this year, and I wish I had more than a few hours to photograph this unique flooded cave.

Under the Jungle is making our French Cave DIving and Culture trip an annual expedition, and it's just so much fun. It's amazing to be able to visit the area with my business partner Vince, who grew up in the area and knows all the interesting things to do. Shoot me a message if you are interested in more info on next year's trip.

Shearwater Research recently released the new Peregrine TX dive computer, and Heather Jean McCloskey (@mermaid_underground) took it for a spin a few weeks ago. We went on a 4-hour stage/photo dive downstream at Nohoch Nah Chich, and it performed perfectly, as expected. Features include support for four transmitters, a compass, and the same streamlined size and ultra-clear screen characteristic of the standard Peregrine. We have one at the shop available for demo if anyone is interested.

The Cave Rake. Cave diving in France is a different game from cave diving in Mexico 🙂 I would argue it's equally fun, there's just some differences in . . . techniques. At the entrance of Font del Truffe, divers can find a rake conveniently placed near the entrance restriction, because sometimes strong currents can move the rocks around and clog up the entrance. We didn't have a strong flow, but who can resist a little underground gardening??

We are making our French cave diving trip and annual event, so shoot me a DM if you want more information about next year's caves and culture trip!

This place is white, white marble with smooth scalloped walls and dramatic fractures. I am in love with this cave and want to see more of it on next year's trip. We are going to make this an annual thing, shoot me a DM if you are interested. We are doing a combined cave diving and cultural trip, and we will be able to accommodate divers of all levels -- hoping to add a few technical rebreather dives to next year's trip for those who are interested.

I love cave diving and I love photographing @vince

I love cave diving and I love photographing @vincent_rouquette_cathala in flooded caves. Here he is in Landenouse -- flooded cave in the Lot region of France, close to where he is from. Each year, we run a cave diving trip to the south of France, during which we combine trips to the uniquely beautiful caves of the region with cultural experiences from Vince's homeland and a large amount of extremely good food. Reach out if you are interested in next year's trip.

There's no more cave diving for this trip, and now I start my journey home. I have lots more photos to share though, so you will all be subjected to more French caves over the next days 🙂 I already miss it and I haven't even gotten on the flight yet. 100% would recommend this experience!

For now, it's time to back up and fly home in a few days, where I can feel my hands when I am diving.

Something about the caves in France is capturing my heart. These smooth, scalloped walls are somehow just as beautiful to me as the delicate formations gracing Mexico's cenotes. I just really like cave diving.

Here, my buddy and business partner Vincent Rouquette-Cathala (@vrc_uw_explorations) models for me at Marchepied, a cave in the Lote region of France. Every year Under the Jungle runs a trip to visit the French cave, and we do one amazing cave dive and then a cultural experience each day. It's been so much fun.
