Hi I'm Danny! I'm travelling around the world! Please Follow me
After yesterdays trip to the perfectly blue caves of the Gruta do Lago Azul we all wanted to visit somewhere where we could get back into the water. Of course Bonito offers lots of opportunities for this.
We decided to go underwater cave diving in Abismo. To get into the cave required abseiling down 70 metres. You are immediately struck by the size of the cave as it opens out.
Once in the cave the you notice the weird and eery atmosphere, an almost alien structure of stalactites and stalagmites.
The pool itself is 80 metres deep. In this environment you can hear a pin drop.
It was about ten years since I'd taken my open water PADI course and to be quite honest I couldn't really remember what I was doing. Once in the cave we got into our kit and descended into the water. At the start I couldn't get the hang of the buoyancy but after a while I got used to it. There were animal bones and all sorts of weird things at the bottom of the cave.
Underwater cave diving is incredibly sketchy! It's different to the coral reef dives I've done in the past because it's so incredibly dark.
After a half day in the cave we did a tour on a dinghy before abseiling back out.
Here's a video that gives you a better idea of the cave dive
That looks amazing! I'd love to do that one day
Me too. I wish I win the lottery soon! lol
if there is a will there is a way...
I agree with you
Wow! Amazing!
Wow! This looks amazing, thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Everything about this seems sketchy to me (obviously it isn't). Pretty amazing to see what lies beneath the surface of our Earth. I see the man made dock/platform there...is this a place others frequent often, or are their guides that take groups of people down for a dive? Also I would imagine the water is pretty cold down there!
Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Looks like an awesome place to explore, although it does require some advanced skills. I'd love to go but it would be hard to bring the kids and we always travel as a family. Guess it will have to wait till the kids are bigger.
Wow this looking so amazing and a little bit scary as well :) I love diving and I can imagine it completely different to reef diving. Last time I was diving in Tip of Borneo. Beautiful as well <3

What you're doing is amazing Danny. I'm really curious, does Steem fund your travels? I would love to do something similar, and bitcoin is worth double in some parts of South America. ;)
really? why is it worth double?
just followed u, please follow back
Well in Argentina for instance, the government has restrictions on sending or taking money out of the country. So bitcoin is very useful for such purposes. The last I checked you can sell your bitcoin for a lot more over there, for the local currency of course.
so ppl with bitcoin could take a bitcoin holiday and sell up lol
Pretty much! I guess it's like that anyway with currency isn't it, you can go abroad to a poorer country and your money is worth 10x!
awesome
Great content danny! I'm living in Africa through your post. I'll post my great experiences soon over from instagram. Followed and upvoted. Thanks for the good stuff. Hope to see you soon!
واضح انه كان يوم مميز و رائع
wow what an awesome adventure :)
Must have been a breathtaking experience ;)
Enjoy your day! :)
Abismo Anhumas!! SO NICE! I was in Bonito a couple months ago, an amazing place, been working on a hostel and doing some tours, like this on Rio Da Prata, left the Abismo for the next time.
No matter how many steem someone can pay me, I would never go in a place like that...scaryyyy
amazing cave nice thanks
I like it
Wow fantastic! I am a former PADI diver, (1985) and these fantastic photographs awoke in me very beautiful memories. Thank you very much for sharing.
Why did you stop diving?
Well At that time I used to live in Guatemala, a very beautiful place. At that time I had the time, today my work in Mexico, where I was born, demands a lot of time...perhaps someday...
I hope so
Bonitos are a tribe of medium-sized, ray-finned predatory fish in the family Scombridae
Bonito is a town and ecotourism hub in southern Brazil's Mato Grosso do Sul state. The surrounding area is known for crystal-clear rivers
Nice trip. I love palaces with clear water.
I always dream of going to a place like that !

Looks pretty creepy!! the darkness would freak me out - could be anything down there.... What was the weirdest thing you saw and would you recommend it?
Lovely Place ...
The caves are beautiful however a bit scary due to its hugeness and its dip!!!! is the water drinkable? great pictures indeed.
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. The cave formations are beautiful and I'm sure the diving was enough to get your heart pumping! What is next?

What an amazing experience.
Wow wow! You're really having an adventurous time. The abseiling must have been dizzying, I know it would be for me. Maybe not for you since you're used to it.
Looking at the pictures, I can almost feel the Serene and alien-like atmosphere you described. It must have felt like a world away from our world.
Great post!
Hope you having a great time traveling and discovering the caves.
