scuba diving underground
by MegaDude inearlier this year on vacation i caught the ferry over from cozumel to the mainland in mexico and dove the cenotes or underground cavern systems which have the clearest water i've ever seen....about 300- foot visibility.
you climb a ladder 30 feet underground into a cavern with bats flying around, and then slip into the water and dive through the passage ways which take you about another 30 feet underwater.
the scenery was spectacular.
