This image is probably the lowest quality image I’ve ever posted on my website but I absolutely love it. It comes from my cenote diving trip last August.
This dive is known as “El Pit” & whilst the name might be uninspiring the dive is anything but that. With a stunning 100-foot pillar of light illuminating the halocline and gas cloud layers, the effects of the illumination in this underwater cave really have to be seen to be believed. There’s a reason why it’s known as the “Dream Dive” around the cave diving community - on sunny days, the light show in the vast cenote is absolutely mesmerizing. And there, right at the bottom, is a well preserved fallen tree to give scale & context to the image.
One of the most eerie places I’ve ever dived for sure.
