Hey, if I ever make it over there I will see if I can get permissions ..... maybe the closest cities university might have archeology department that would help for divers to excavate for them. With artifacts going to a museum etc this would be more beneficial to Guatemala society. Although I would love to go treasure hunting in real life not if it means jail :-)

funny kwinky dink today. the exact guy that i know who has dove the underwater city came to the hostal today. he is a friend from guate city. i asked him more in depth. he said that there is way to much bureaucracy around doing the dive legit. but that he knows the exact spot and he has done several clandestine dives there. you just have to have the boat guy drive away and get in quick.
he also told me about these jungle senotes he goes diving in...said there some of his favorite here in guate...
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
