    Your brave to be going into those blue holes. Its creepy swimming in them, but your video made them beautiful.

    Wow I loved this video, definitely planning on diving this place. The formations look strikingly beautiful.

    Just one thing - is it okay for people to be pulling themselves along by touching the formations in this magical place? I noticed it a few times in this video. Also noticed how good a diver Brian Kakuk is, he wasn't groping the cave :)

    As with so many things, it's a trade off. Some parts of the cave are so fragile (especially the ceiling), that any fin movement could do harm to the cave. Using pull and glide GENTLY on the more massive formations that are not fragile is the best way of movement in such situations.

    Today, we are going back to Dan's "Wrigley Field", a huge chamber about 3000' back into the cave. We take the HD camera and additional lighting with us. Stay tuned for more video of this stunning cave!

    Marc,

    Can't WAIT to see that! Is Howard going too?
  • Marc Laukien plus 2 years ago
    Yes, and of course with Brian as lead diver. Also joining us is John Katerenchuck. Got to go now, we are about to start the dive :)

    Good way to see the Optima in action. This is my next move, rebreahter but as the market goes its still expensive piece of gear; important but pricey!
    The Meg looks more adjustable to type of diving, decision is still to be made.
    Good video, looking forward to get some dives with Bahamas Underground!
