Cenote Nachich is the most western cenote currently known in Sistema Tajma Ha. It makes for a nice varied dive especially if you try to make it from Cenote Tajma Ha. In my case I need every minute of survey time I can get, so I park the car by Sagrado, jump in there and head directly into the City of Agre where I pick up the Nachich line.
Sistema Taj Maha - The Nachich Line
Surveying the Nachich line is a pleasure( at least at the beginning ) long shots with great views passing the COA Cenotes before decending into and through the breakdown and around Nachich in a pleasant circuit.
As I pass the circuit closing double arrows, I drop a cookie. I will visually jump this later when I get to the end of the line which I can see a few feet to my left. The cookie will tell me that this really is the line I expected. While visual jumps cause some fuss with cave divers this will save me swimming all the way back, so I will do it and admit it here publicly!
I complete the survey as planned noting the very tannic water around Nachich. Nachich is an interesting cenote. I haven’t surfaced there yet but I see a wooden ladder going into the water from above. I guess its a local swimming hole. We will find out soon enough when we start to straighten the survey out based on GPS coordinates at all the exit/entry points in the system.
So EOL and I see my cookie on the crossing line ahead. I visually jump, pick up the cookie and head back out to Sagrado and home.
