cave divers

Subterranean water explorers

Cave divers are people who explore underwater caves, navigating submerged passages that often extend miles into rock formations.

The activity requires specialized training beyond standard scuba certification because of unique hazards—zero visibility, tight passages, and no direct access to the surface.

Cave divers discovered a new chamber in the cenote system.
