The Blind Cavefish | JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD

Deep underground, in caves, there is no light. Because there is no light, there is almost nothing for animals to eat. Yet life survives here. The top predator in these sunless ecosystems is a tiny blind cavefish, only a few inches long. These fish are extremely rare, only found in the dark recesses of caves. Jonathan joins Christine Loew, a veteran cave explorer, on a mission to film this elusive fish in Mexico's Riviera Maya.

Christine Loew is an amazing cave/cavern diving guide! We highly recommend her! If you are planning a cave/cavern diving trip to Mexico, drop her a line!

PLEASE NOTE....THIS EPISODE WAS FILMED BEFORE WE WERE CAVE CERTIFIED AND WE ARE WEARING SINGLE TANKS. THE CAVE WE ARE DIVING IN IS ONLY HALF FILLED WITH WATER. WHILE IT IS A TRUE CAVE WITH NO NATURAL LIGHT, THERE IS AIR ABOVE THE DIVERS ALMOST ALL THE TIME. AS A RESULT, THIS IS NOT TRUE "CAVE DIVING."
