Summary

We were able to video all passages from Main Entrance to the Blues Abyss (10,000 feets). We got a total of 220min of video footage. We tried different ligthing techniques and we found the best by having one lead team, followed by a team with video lighs and then the camera team.

We checked the left side of the last T before getting to Princesa Cenote. The left section continued for about 2000ft in a northerly direction (for a total penetration of 16K). The cave is small but most of it is possible with double configuration. We explored a lead heading East but after 200ft the tunnel got too small for double tanks, so we had to abort. However, the tunnel did not look like it would have continue much longer. We did not see any other lead heading East. We saw a promising lead heading west, but due to time limit we did not explore it.
