This is NOT fiction, It is History in the Making.
You are over the vast, flat, jungle expanse called the Yucatan.
Focus down on Tulum, the enigmatic, clifftop city of the Mayan Civilization.
The only Mayan city known to exist on the ocean's edge.
In the Jungles nearby the ancient city lie the Two Longest underwater cave
systems known on earth.
The Mayan people, who continue to live and die here, regard the crystal clear holes leading to vast
underground chambers as sacred. These are called Cenote, they are the doors to the underwater worlds.
Through a quirk of Nature, the liquid catacombs were once dry...Then they flooded, pristine and gorgeous,
full of flowstone and stalactites, incredible beauty sealed in fresh, clear, glasslike water.
They found a skeleton in the now submerged caverns that could be 10,000 years old.
New Cave creatures that exist Nowhere else on earth are being found.
The Yucatan underwater cave systems continue to give up miles and miles each year to Mexico's total attracting world class cave divers. You can see them when you go snorkeling, because you are in a Cenote, like a large blue bathtub in the jungle and they come out of tubes at the bottom and climb out!
This is the official Internet HeadQuarters of the Brave souls who dare to journey
to the farthest reaches underground, underwater, ever.
Some of the fantastic letters from our visitors.
