THE PROJECT
The Taj Mahal system is located between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, and is one of the most visited cave systems in the area by caver divers and cavern divers from all over the world. This system of galleries of 10 kilometers long and which includes several Cenotes (entries) was explored for the first time in the years 1995 by divers cavers of different countries.
Several surveys (measurement of cave lines) have been carried out by different teams and cave diver since the first explorations in 1995. Some maps have also been made but only partial and inaccurate maps.
My project is to carry out an accurate cartography of the whole Taj Mahal system in order to better know and protect this cave but also in order to give the caving diver a support to plan their caving dive.
