With its hard deep black exterior, coated with DLC (diamond like coating), the DELMA Blue Shark III Black Edition is a formidable, 4’000meter cave diving beast.
Cave diving involves sometimes having to squeeze through gnarly ragged holes in the rock so the addition of a scratch resistant black DLC coating means that it will hold in the harshest of environments.
Besides this the new pitch black coating makes this Blue Shark III even meaner than ever. It is also very dark in the subterranean world with mostly zero sunlight, so good lume is also essential.
Luckily the Blue Shark III Black Edition look like it glows like a torch!
Delma sent their Blue Shark III Black Edition with cave diver, photographer and explorer Klaus Thymann on a brave expedition deep into the underwater caves of the Yucatan Peninsula in Tulum, Mexico.
The area hosts the world’s largest underwater cave system with a network of interconnected submerged labyrinths.
Klaus ventured through passages of exposed groundwater in the jungle floor into narrow corridors of subterranean rock where he observed raw undisturbed geological surfaces created over thousands of years.
Klaus was accompanied with by his Blue Shark III Black Edition, which kept him connected to life above ground while he explored the often disorientating world.
Klaus’ mission also brought him to the Laguna de Kaan Luum. While connected by intricate passages to the caves, he explored the Cenote on separate dives to experience its extraordinary properties from the surface.
Known for its vibrant color, the illusive hole may be as deep as 80 meters and descending to the bottom requires not only diving expertise but immense bravery.
Despite its captivating color, the deep shaft in the center is feared for its sulfur and thermal clouds and forbidden to tourists.
At 22 meters below sea level, Klaus encountered the top thermal layer and entered the sulfur cloud. The eerie green glow surrounding him was otherworldly.
Klaus plunged deeper with the help of his Blue Shark III to confidently descend to nearly 70 meters and capture more of what lies within this magical place. Like in all forms of diving, and perhaps even more so in cave diving, precision and awareness of time is of utmost importance.
Deep within underground cave systems, Klaus was delighted by an incredible amount of sensory experiences, with new rock formations and tunnels at every turn of his headlamp, it was crucial to adhere to the dive plan, not to lose focus on timing.
