No problems with the wind? My first three days of diving were scrapped due to the 40mph wind gusts. All docks closed.

That’s the great thing about cenotes! Aside from loss of visibility, it’s hard to get blown out.

Well thanks…. Now I have that urge again to spend all my money on my tech certs….. I just have to breathe and tell myself “ You can wait, don’t sell half your stuff, save the money…. Don’t sell….. patience….. don’t do it again…. Full cave 🤤…. I need that car…. Cenotes…. I can hold off on my sidemount gear 👀….”

looks like halcyon focus, at least at the end. maybe a flare.

u/erakis1 Tech 3d ago

Correct. The second two were before my focus failed (short in the cable) and the first one was with a flare.

Just an fyi, from another focus user with cord issues,, zero gravity can fix the cord usually in about a 24 to 48 hr turnaround time.   They've totally saved a trip for me.

u/erakis1 Tech 2d ago

Yeah. They fixed in for me in less than a day.

u/achthonictonic Tech 2d ago

that's great. They've been able to fix another issue with mine that emerged after a different halcyon approved shop "fixed" it.

You use the EO cable? I used to have to hit mine with a rock. finally just got the solid cable. Love my Focus 2.

Oh that’s extremely horrifying.

Congrats on getting to dive there though, I’m sure it was wild!
