About this audio guide
This guide to Isla Mujeres, off the coast from Playa del Carmen, follows a lobster diver the island called Válvula and the strange habit he noticed in the sharks of a reef called Los Cuevones. It then turns to Ramón Bravo, an Olympic swimmer turned underwater cameraman, and the years he spent getting the world to take one cave seriously. Jacques Cousteau and the scientist Eugenie Clark both pass through. Best heard facing the open water.
