TAJMA HA

LOCATION:

DIFFICULTY: EASY to HARD – There is the Gold Line which everyone knows- it’s used for cavern tours. Cave diving training is often done here HOWEVER, there are some hidden jumps to areas that are spicier and more challenging in nature. There are some restrictions and depending on the line, delicate formations. People often underestimate this site due to the cavern guiding and cave training, however, get a good guide, and Taj will offer up her most elusive secrets to the well-initiated cave diver.

WC FACILITIES: Yes, decent.

OTHER FACILITIES: Yes, there are three palapas (covered areas) where you can load out and gear up.

FOOD SOLD HERE: No.

ACTIVITIES FOR NON-DIVERS: No.

CURRENT ENTRY FEE: $300 Pesos

SUMMARY: As mentioned above, this is a deceptive site. It’s great for a shake-out dive and for training but there are some lines that offer some challenge. If you have advanced skills, ask to go to where the animal bones and pottery are. If you’re good on air consumption or are willing to take a stage, the Chinese Garden is an unforgettable site with giant speleothems and fossils. There is also an interesting “waterfall” at the end of one of the lines. Don’t knock this site just because of cavern tours and basic cave training are done here- there are a lot of gems that are missed out if you don’t go with the right people. Who are the right people? UNDER THE JUNGLE, of course.
