Grandaddy "Carwash" (Upstream) May 2007And last (but for 100% not least), the magnificent "Carwash"This cave is deep(er) dark(er) silty(er) but will always have a special place for me (and I think a lot of other people) We spent day 2 of our (first attempt) at our cave1 class here in Jan/2007, doing 4 dives. I can honestly say that without the "guidance" of our instructor, we could have wandered around in there for a week and not found the line! The Cenote periodically has a lot of algae growth in it -- which was absent in Jan, giving some awesome lighting, but this time it was pretty murky. This dive is upstream toward Luc's Hope A topside shot of the cenote.  Entering the cave   This cave is awesome -- it kind of looks (to me) like the rock has melted in place.  Simply amazing columns  STOP!  Pete floating between columns  The cave is actually quite open in a lot of places.  But does close in too...   Thanks to Richard (and Uli) for laying the line (we'd never have made it this far if we had to lay it and video). We leave our cookies to let them know we are still in the cave. This is the start of the mainline 300+ feet in.   Three women?  Huge hunk of rocko  Yet another post that I seem to like so much   This one is a bit dark  Looks like part of a kneecap or something  And the cenote ...  What an awesome dive this is, and with Luc's hope and Adriannas room lurking just around the corner (and maybe after an eventual cave 2 course, the room of tears !) Apologies for the darkness -- only my second dive in a cave with a camera (and the first involved exiting on a backup light) 10:01 PM - 5/29/2007 - post comment
