Fragile beauty

Fantastic shallow cave dive in Dos Pisos led by Jeff. He brought me to the south entrance, just a short walk down from the gearing up place, as opposed to the north entrance, which I dived in 2008 after a rather hot 21' hike through the jungle.


The knee-deep entry pool just continues below the cavern's apparent wall, remaining very low ceilinged underwater for quite a while before opening up somewhat. The special beauty here are the fragile stalactite forests drooping down and the many stalagmites growing up from the silty bottom. For 50' we carefully hovered through these otherworldly marvels of stone, before reaching the end of our jump section and turning around for another look on the way out.
