Cenote Chan Hol is currently being explored in Mexico.
I was kindly given the freedom of the cave
by Kim Davidsson, the explorer, and took these photos
of it. Only two people have ever seen the cave in real life, Kim and me.
Click on any photo to enlarge it. And please excuse the quality - this is my first toe in the water with cave photography, and was almost my first time in a virgin cave passage.

The first 4 photos are from the shortcut to the left of the main entrance of the cave.

Note the air pockets on the
ceiling.

- From the next photo on you are looking at a virgin cave passage I was
just then exploring. I left no line in there - I am not the main explorer
of the cave - but I enjoyed myself immensely. I had a large reel and a cheap
underwater camera tied to the same clip; when using the camera
the reel rested harmlessly underneath it; when using the reel the camera
floated harmlessly above it; and I found one can change from one to the other very quickly. Note how I get excited about the new passage and allow
some silt into the first photo.......
