VANILLA SKY PROJECT 2018

Follow the Vanilla Sky Project team, documenting their Mexico cave explorations "as it happens".

Following up the official GoPro series “Searching the Maya Underworld – Quest for the Earth’s Biggest Cave”, the team's explorations continue.

There's been some pretty amazing finds in previous Vanilla Sky Projects.  As the team's explorations continue, we wanted to document true exploration as it happened, providing the viewer with a sense of the exhaustive work, disappointment, frustration and exhilaration of exploration.  ​

​Hiking and searching for new cenotes to explore, we found several cenotes that look worth exploring.  However, the last target of the day really caught our attention.

A new 2 part series follows the Vanilla Sky Project Team as the explore a new area, and new cave system.

Huge thanks to GoPro for time, support and guidance on this project.​

O’Ho Tucha is turning into an endless, massive cave system and the team needs to use all available tools to properly explore. Maarten and Packo find a deep saltwater section with some bones from the last ice age. Having a compressor on-site is critical, but also comes with some risk.

Live exploration, as it happened, shot 100% on GoPro Hero4 and Hero5 cameras with BigBlue video lights
