Bird Cage Cave Dive! (The longest cave in the world!)

Jonathan and Cameraman Todd team up with cave explorer Christine Loew to explore Nahoch Nah Chich Cave ("Giant Bird Cage") in Mexico. This system is part of a larger cave system stretching 215 miles underwater, making it the longest submerged cave in the world.
Christine Loew is an amazing cave/cavern diving guide! We highly recommend her! If you are planning a cave/cavern diving trip to Mexico, drop her a line!

Last time I saw this video I was in awe. Now I'm cave certified and have dived this very cave and can honestly say Jonathan is not exaggerating. It's truly gorgeous. We spent two and a half hours exploring various lines.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Congrats on your cave certification!

"Our goal is to leave nothing but bubbles and the pristine cave behind" 💛👏🏽 Thanks for sharing this beautiful experience with us. Especially the waterfall flowstone was amazing, or the formation at 8:55min. With the flashlight, it really looks like one of the deep-sea creatures we filmed for one of our latest productions.

Camera quality underwater is solid. What a clear picture.

[@wayaj3966]

I recently went on my first dive while on a trip to mexico. We only went 50 ft deep and were under water for a little less than an hour but that was all it took for me to fall deeply in love with the peace that the underwater world has to offer. I’m now motivated to get certified and one day will hopefully be blessed to experience cave diving as well.

[@BlueWorldTV]

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear it. Have fun with the certification class, it's a good time. And take your time going into cave diving.

That's crazy! When I went to Mexico, just about a year before this was released, I went to Dos Ojos and swam on the surface section of both. It was amazing to swim, and one of the reasons I want to get my SCUBA license. Insane to think that you were swimming in the same system as I was.

[@user-jg2gw7hq9c]

The yucatan is a great place to do your cave training. The water is warm, the caves are shallow and there is very little current.

Mind-blowing views, beauty must be measured by it. Just wondering if the amount of Carbon Dioxide released by divers forming Carbonic acid is not harmful for the constituent elements of the formations.
