A lot of updates, a lot of work to wrap this up, giving way to a lot of new plans and confirmed leads.

In summary, we smashed 7 months of exploration between Jack and myself in season # 1 of the Vanilla Farm Exploration Project. Guest explorer was Kim Davidsson, thanks for all the mentorship and help.

32K feet of surveyed cave passages, 50+ jump arrows, hundreds of exploration hours on our loyal KISS Sidewinders.

5 entrances, bones, pottery, average depth of 7m, max depth 16m, dozens of massive collapses, cave and jungle fauna, and more.

We started our water sampling project, and we are on to more on season # 2 coming up.

Very grateful for our porters from the Chilango team, rocking it and making this possible.

Thanks to all who supported this season, we are very excited and working very hard to understand more and protect this pristine cave.

If you wish to support our project please get in touch and request our executive summary and project briefing.

And thanks to my exploration partner Jack Cleary for every dive good or bad, for all the team work, for the amazing attitude, for keeping the cool and for all the trust that goes into venturing that far from an entrance with another human being. “I trust you with my life” is not something we can say very often and to just anyone around. THANK YOU 🤜🤛

A community survey about sexual abuse and harassment is now live and available to anyone, men and women, who wishes to respond.

If you have witnessed, suffered, or not, all answers are important.

Please feel free to fill it in and share:

How deep was your deepest dive? How long was your longest dive? How many dives do you do annually?

Some Vanilla Farm spam 🙌

Some information about our project:

1. It is not available for divers to visit as this is an ongoing exploration
2. There has never been a diver in Open Circuit in our site, we would like to keep it like that for now
3. The only professional photographer who has been to our site is Mekan. We are looking for professional photographers who would like to join the next season, must be on CCR, certified CCR Cave with proven experience in long range dives and certified DPV Cave.
4. If you are a Cave scientist looking for a site to do your research, please get in touch. We may have interesting aspects in the site for cave and hydro-geology studies.
5. If you ask us for the location we will send you a pdf with all the information and GPS coordinates. Kidding 😛 Please do not ask us for the location 🙏🏼

That time shinning too bright in Merida 🔦

Merida is one of my favorite spots to dive, visit, eat, relax, and enjoy life.

Located in the State of Yucatan, merely 3 hours drive from Tulúm, it is the perfect cave diving getaway for a weekend or a short week.

Diving in Merida has taught me a lot, especially when I trained former student in deeper caves than the ones I’m used to.

Getting out to new places is the best teacher, you learn to adapt and become comfortable going outside of the famous comfort zone.

Thanks to all my friends in Merida, a little piece of my heart is always left behind.
