I y'all would like to read more about Sheck Exley's exploration of Nacimiento del Río Mante and other nacimientos in the El Abra Region, get AMCS Bulletin 26, which was published a few months ago. There is a map of Nacimiento del Río Mante from one of Sheck´s books. Appendix 4 is a detailed table of 40 cave dives in the El Abra, with divers´ names, dates, depth, and penetration (horizontal length of dive). And lots of other maps, photos, and accounts of big El Abra caves, especially cavefish sites. These are some of the classic caves that the AMCS explored and mapped from the 1960s to the 1990s. There's a huge list of cavers in the back who participated in the work.
Bulletin 26 is available through the AMCS Website for $30 at http://www.mexicancaves.org/ An abstract of the book is at http://cavelife.info/Astyanax/Astyanax.htm Sheck died in *Sistema Zacatón *in the Sierra de Tamaulipas. See AMCS Bulletin 21 (2010) for maps and details of those caves, still available from AMCS. *William R.
