Tak Be Ha
A shallow cavern near the Dos Ojos area, part of the Nohoch Nah Chich section of Sac Actun. Divers descend a steep stone stairway while tanks are lowered through a chimney hole, into a large chamber with artificial lighting. The chamber is richly decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, columns and helictites. Maximum depth is only about 6–7 m.
