Scuba Diving and Snorkeling in Cenotes - Caverns near Cancun, Mexico

2010-03-09T07:15:16Z

We swam in Dos Ojos, where the fresh water was crystal clear. Using powerful spotlights, the experience was akin to a night dive through a magical garden of thousands of stalactites, stalagmites and columns. In Cancun, Mexico, or neighboring Riviera Maya, scuba diving and snorkeling in cenotes - water-filled underground caves are increasingly popular with vacationers.

Whitewater rafting on rivers in the East should be spectacular this spring, courtesy of  the recent blizzards. Info about spring trips are flowing into my email box. Family-owned  River Expeditions just announced dates for its annual whitewater season opener.  The 28th annual Ice Breaker Weekend is April 10-11, and rafters should expect thrills and chills (wear a wet suit if you own or can borrow one) on the New River in the heart of West Virginia's New River Gorge National Park.  Prices for this weekend's day trips are discounted, but the thrills are among the best of the river rafting season.   For more info about River Expeditions and other  river rafting trips this spring and summer visit Where to Find the Best Whitewater Trips.

National Geographic Adventure Online Names "Adventurers of the Year"

2010-02-26T18:12:45Z

National Geographic Adventure's online magazine has announced its Readers' Choice  Adventurers of the Year.  Who says your vote doesn't count?  With more than 20,000 readers voting, it turned out to be a tie between two special people.  Explorer-engineer Albert Yu-Min Lin was chosen for organizing a high-risk expedition to search for Ghenghis Khan's lost tomb in Mongolia's "Forbidden Zone."  Wounded Iraq war veteran Marc Hoffmeister led a team of soldiers, many with missing limbs, on an expedition up Denali's dangerous West Buttress route.
