| 2026-08-04Exploratie | WKPP and SUNFISH robot map about 7.5 km of the Wakulla cave systemThe Woodville Karst Plain Project reported that, between mid-May and mid-June 2026, its divers supported the SUNFISH autonomous underwater vehicle as it 3D-mapped about 7.5 km of passage from Whiskey Still and Turner sinks in the Wakulla system, Florida. Divers also collected water samples and new cave-radio location fixes, then removed all project material. | United States | Woodville Karst Plain Project ↗ | 2026-10-14 |
| 2026-07-16Behoud | INAH starts protection project for archaeological remains in Cenote YaakunINAH's underwater archaeology unit recorded human remains, believed to be a young woman, and three ceramic vessels between 42 and 53 m in Cenote Yaakun near Playa del Carmen, and set up a formal research project. It is fencing off both areas so divers keep their distance and, with the landowners, asks dive groups not to touch or remove anything. | Mexico | Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) ↗ | 2026-10-14 |
| 2026-05-16Vergunning | Maldives suspends safari vessel licence after five divers die in Vaavu Atoll caveAP reported that five Italian divers died while apparently exploring a cave at about 50 m in Vaavu Atoll, well beyond the Maldives' 30 m recreational depth limit. The Tourism Ministry suspended the operating licence of the expedition's vessel pending investigation, and a Maldivian military diver died of decompression sickness during the recovery effort.

| 2026-03-31Onderzoek | Exploration teams publish experience with dual-rebreather setupsDiving and Hyperbaric Medicine published an account by members of the Wetmules and COBRA Divers teams of how each independently adopted a second rebreather as bailout for long and deep cave dives. The authors describe gains in range but also extra workload, maintenance and failure modes, concluding that redundancy does not automatically improve safety. | Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine ↗ | 2026-10-14 | |
| 2026-03-30Onderzoek | INAH moves human remains recovered in Sac Actun for laboratory studyMexico's national institute of anthropology and history (INAH) transferred a human skeleton, reported in 2022 and recovered in late 2025 from the Sac Actun underground river system, to Mexico City for physical-anthropology study. It was found about 200 m inside a cenote at 8 m depth in a small chamber; a female skull from another entrance was moved too. | Mexico | Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) ↗ | 2026-10-14 |
| 2026-03-02Exploratie | CINDAQ 2025 report: Ox Bel Ha resurvey nearly done; new Sistema Chumuk LuumCINDAQ's 2025 annual report says the seven-year resurvey of Ox Bel Ha is nearly complete, with more than 185 km of new passage found along the way and the system at nearly 529 km. It also reports that rebreather divers linked three cenotes, Tuun Ja, Chumuk Ja and Lak'in Ja, into a 5.5 km system named Sistema Chumuk Luum. | Mexico | Centro Investigador del Sistema Acuífero de Quintana Roo (CINDAQ) ↗ CINDAQ ↗ | 2026-10-14 |
| 2025-11-25Onderzoek | INAH archaeologist reviews prehistoric burials in Tulum's flooded cavesINAH reported a lecture by its Quintana Roo underwater archaeologist reviewing human remains found in flooded caves and cenotes around Tulum, including Naharon, Las Palmas, Muknal, Chan Hol 1 and 2, and Ixchel. INAH says they show mortuary use of these spaces from prehistoric times into the Classic Maya period, and raise the question of when caves became tied to ideas of the underworld. | Mexico | Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) ↗ | 2026-10-14 |
| 2025-10-06Behoud | Mexico's environment secretary acknowledges Tren Maya damage to eight caves and cenotesAppearing before congressional environment committees, Semarnat head Alicia Bárcena acknowledged that Section 5 of the Tren Maya affected eight caves and cenotes and said cleanup and concrete removal were being pursued. She also said the railway was still operating without all its environmental permits and was being regularised, with a goal of meeting 95 impact conditions.

| 2025-08Opleiding | GUE standards v10.2 require Cave 1 and Cave 2 dives in three different cave systemsGlobal Underwater Explorers' Standards v10.2 (August 2025) reworded the Cave Diver Level 1 and Level 2 course content so that the ten required cave dives must take place in at least three different cave systems. The change log shows the earlier wording, which counted caves as different when they had geographically distinct entrances, was revised. | Global Underwater Explorers ↗ Global Underwater Explorers ↗ | 2026-10-14 | |
| 2025-07-31Onderzoek | Study uses cave divers to map water-quality variation inside a Florida aquifer caveUniversity of South Florida researchers published in Ground Water a study in which divers logged dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH and conductivity along a 1.1 km route in a phreatic cave of the Floridan Aquifer, and sampled several passages and the spring vent. Nitrate, oxygen and organic carbon varied most between passages, pointing to recharge from surrounding farmland. | United States | Ground Water via PubMed ↗ | 2026-10-14 |
