The dive
The explorers named this cave after the Taj Mahal, one of the 'wonders of the world', in 1995, and gave its rooms names from the palace, such as City of Agra and Jumna River.
Profile and sections
The explorers named this cave after the Taj Mahal, one of the 'wonders of the world', in 1995, and gave its rooms names from the palace, such as City of Agra and Jumna River. The spelling Tajma Ha is a pun on the Maya word ha, water. Inside wait rooms such as Sugar Bowl, Esmeralda and Chinese Garden. Between March and September beams of light fall in; the floor is silty. The water flows on to Minotauro, but a collapse prevents (so far) a traverse. Sistema Taj Mahal: 10 km surveyed, down to -24.4 m (QRSS, Jan 2025).
Practical: fee about 300 MXN, divers only. Under the Jungle has a base here.
- Depth and profile
- Mostly -13 m, max about -15 m; sawtooth profile; halocline in a tunnel (fresh water in the top ~12 m)
- Intro level
- Main line from the entrance to the first big rooms, no jumps.
- Configuration
- All configurations; CCR: mind the sawtooth profile (loop volume)
- DPV: DPV possible
- Scooters are used here, but the ~10 km system has a sawtooth profile and silty floor: limited gain
Who can dive where
- At least Full cave
- Cavern zone / easier part: at least Intro to cave
- Configurations: Backmount / twinset / Sidemount / CCR / Small cylinders / no-mount (speleo sumps)
- Goes down to 15 m (trimix or deco may be needed)
This is how the planner decides who in your team may dive this cave. Rules your own trip adds (organizer, a mail, the AI) show with your trip.
