Why is the Mexican President so concerned and raising a stink?Because half of thhe 'team' are members of the British Armed Forces.

So now soldiers,sailors and flyboys aren't allowed to have interesting hobbies in their own time and conduct them in foriegn climates as citizens?

I've not heard of one potholing expedition that has been undertaken as part of ANY miltary strategy.It's an unreliable method of invading a government anyway especially as so many potholers end up having to get help to extricate themselves alive.

Anyway just what could anybody be hiding in a underwater cave with the inherent dangers of underground rivers flooding.

I wonder what political kudos the president is seeking out of this?

Incog.

Well I've had my say.What's your take?
