Uuh oh, I think the last but one mojito wasn't good...
Anyway, I am here to dive!
Get up at 7, coffee at Ki'Bok, meet Rubi at the dive center, we both were not expecting to dive together one more time, but we are both happy to do so!
Dreamgate is close to Dos Ojos, Tajma Ha is about 30 kilometers from Tulum.
Dreamgate is famous for its relatively young stalaktites and stalagmites, that means only a handful of millions of years, not hundreds...
Therefor extra good buoyancy skills are required, some of these stalaktites are thin as a straw and very, very fragile.
Tajma Ha has been discovered only recently, 2008 I think, was originally named Taj Mahal and then "mayanized" to Tajma Ha, with Ha being the Maya word for water. It is supposed to have spectacular natural light, so I bring two batteries for the camera, hoping to take some good pictures.
Unfortunately, most of them are not sharp, here is what I could salvage.
We start with Dreamgate, an experienced team by now, Rubi gives me a dive site briefing, short this time, because the mosquitos are eating us alive here, we put on wetsuits as soon as possible. The equipment is lowered to the entrance with a rope, the stair is very steep.
