<div>Kalag Dzonot is a cenote that gives access to the caves connected to the K'oox Baal Cave System, currently the third largest underwater cave system in the world.
</div>
<div>The mapping project began in 2019, and I immediately decided to divide the project into three maps representing the three main directions of the underground passages.
</div>
<div>The first map, to the North-West, required 45 dives, was published in 2021, and received a Merit Award at the Cartographic Salon of National Speleological Society (United States).
</div>
<div>The second map, to the East, required 50 dives and was published in 2023.
</div>
<div>I am currently working on the third sector, to the South-West, and I estimate it will require a similar number of dives as the previous ones. However, now, in addition to the costs of transportation, tank refills, and various equipment, due to a decision made by the cenote land owner, I also have to pay for access, which increases the project cost.
</div>
<div>The fundraiser is specifically dedicated to covering the cost of access to the site, currently around 18USD per dive.
</div>
<div>Donors who request will receive a scan of a survey taken in the cave, before digitization, as a token of gratitude.
</div>
<div>Thanks
