The resort course... as given by the Ah Café in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo Yucatán Mexico... with a flavor to match its location: somewhere between the Blue Parrot pub on the beach & the sand bar to its south; opposite Devil’s Throat off the coast a ways directly to the east... part of the Punta Sur coral reef near Cozumel.

Devil's Throat starts at approximately 80 feet (24 m) depth & then plunges at another 50 feet or so into a narrow, almost vertical tunnel thru the reef structure. A sweet little slipstream for free-divers (no oxygen tank makes for light, compact navigation). Along the way, the Throat features an alcove bulge of sorts -- an underwater cave called El Catedral (Cathedral) because of a cruciform sponge formation in its ceiling where, with a shaft of sunlight beaming from one of the tunnels, strikes a cross-pattern from behind as if deliberately illuminated by a halo. Probably where the Mayan Diving God (upper left) from nearby Tulu’um would stay for a weekend retreat.

Unfortunately, Hurricane Emily inflicted damage in 2005, & the cross was lost.

These bars bear the sorrow but not without hope altogether as Mexico rummages thru the lost & found of its current landscape to recover a once noble chocolate heritage.
