Haha. Some call it a coincidence some synchronicity, whichever, it happens so much in life. Interesting that it's possible to do a cheeky dive with the help of a friendly local fisherman. I'm too much of a wimp for cave/cenote diving, to be honest. When I was in Mexico I went to a few and sneaked my dive fins in and just free-dived down to the bottom holding my breath and grabbing onto rocks to try and get pics from the bottom. Didn't get many good shots as my underwater camera broke on that trip 😡 This is about the best one:
Did not go anywhere where I couldn't see the surface, it just doesn't appeal to me. I get a little claustrophobic when scuba diving inside a wreck in the open ocean, so cave diving is definitely not for me. weird as I have dived with lots of different sharks, saw banded sea snake swimming in Thailand got right up to a Lion's Mane Jellyfish in UK waters. I only feel wonder not fear on all of these dive experiences but cave diving fills me with dread lol
