ENGLISH VERSION BELOW

AVISO IMPORTANTE PARA BUZOS DE CAVERNA Y CUEVA

El dia de ayer hubo un colapso en el techo de la caverna de Chac Mool en la seccion de rio arriba (upstream). Actualmente el Comite de Oficiales de Seguridad ha enrutado la linea fuera de la zona del colapso pero el area en general permanence inestable y recomendamos que se suspendan los tours de
caverna en esta seccion especifica hasta que se estabilice un poco la zona ya que es probable que otros pequeqos colapsos se presenten. La seccion de Kukulkan y la seccion rio abajo (downstream) no fueron afectadas y recomendamos que los buceos en caverna sean limitados a estas dos secciones.  El tunel que conduce a la seccion rio arriba (upstream) de la cueva tampoco fue afectado por el colapso. Los mantendremos informados si se hara algun cambio a la configuracion de la linea de caverna en esta zona.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL CAVERN & CAVE DIVERS

Yesterday a ceiling collapse took place in the upstream section of the cavern zone at the Chac Mool System. At this time the QRSOC has re routed the line away from the collapsed area but the area surrounding the collapse appears to be quite unstable and we are recommending that no cavern tours
should be conducted in the upstream area until the cave becomes more stable as it is likely that other small collapses could take place. The Kukulkan section and Downstream area are not affected and we strongly recommend limiting cavern dives to these 2 areas. The tunnel leading to the upstream
cave area is also not affected by this collapse. We will keep you updated if any changes will take place to the lay out of the line in this section.

Please feel free to forward this bulletin on to anyone you feel may be interested in it. If you are not receiving this email directly and wish to be added to our mailing list please send an email with your full name and

Thank you,
