Congrats to Dive Babe @ on her first Blue Fin Tuna!! Valerie’s dedication to the sport has taken her from reef fish to tuna in under a year! She embodies the dive babes philosophy of camaraderie over competition, acting like an ally to other women, and being a steward of the sea. And, she’s the funnest!

… it felt like swimming in the heart of the Cenote ecosystem.
⠀
This secret Cenote is on private land and solely used for Mayan weddings, baptisms, and Shamanic ceremonies. We all felt and connected with the spiritual energy of this pristine and unique location. We played, explored, and even got in some 28 meter dives at its deepest point.
⠀
Thank you for getting us access and for sharing this special place with us. We all left feeling more connected to ourselves, to each other, and to the gift of Cenote diving.
