  • A diver heads deeper into a flooded cavern in Mexico. Despite what it looks like, guided cavern dives are actually very safe. Even though there is no immediate access to the surface, it's in fact closer than on a deep dive and always just a short swim away! That being said, it's of course not recommended to venture into any cavern without somebody that is already familiar with the area and trained in cave diving procedures!

  • This is my take on the famous Cenote "El Pit" in Quinatana Roo, Mexico. It has been photographed countless times, and I think it's pretty obvious why! Because the whole cavern dive is conducted in only one room, getting a clear image without an armada of divers is the main concern, so thanks to Marcelin of Under The Jungle for timing our dive perfectly! The other concern is making the sunrays stand out. To get a decent amount of light I took this image at 1/15 sec - handheld! Fortunately underwater we can get away with shutterspeeds much lower than what we would use on dry land!

  • A diver passes through a tunnel in a cave system in Mexico. These are magical places, featuring stunning structures and crystal clear water. The Yucatan peninsula in Mexico features the world's largest flooded cave system, and some say it might even be the largest cave system of all. Parts of it still remain unexplored.

  • This cenote is named very appropriately! The structures are the stuff of dreams and crystal clear water makes you feel like you're flying! Thanks to my guide and model Marcelin of Under The Jungle!

  • Some cenotes on the Yucatan peninsula feature dramatic-looking clouds of a white-ish precipitate from chemical reactions that get stuck in the halocline - the interface between the lighter fresh and heavier saltwater. If undisturbed, these clouds even show structures that highlight the natural movement of the water.
