Honorable Mention
Cave diver silhouette
DESCRIPTION
Diving near the entrances to the flooded caves is wonderful. The sun's rays penetrating the water create the illusion of a curtain and are the backdrop for the cave diver. This picture was taken while diving in the cenote Jardin del Eden, Yucatan, Mexico, November 2019. AUTHOR
I have been a photographer for a long time and after I started diving in 2003, I took this hobby to the underwater world. So now I shoot both "above water" and "under water". I have visited different parts of the world, from warm southern oceans and seas, to geographically temperate places, to northern areas with very cold water. In recent years I have focused on photography in flooded cave systems in the Yucatan. This Mexican peninsula is home to the largest flooded cave systems in the world, hundreds of kilometres long. The world of flooded caves absolutely captivates me and compels me to capture this beauty in photographs and share it with others.
