Scenery of flooded cave
DESCRIPTION
The flooded caves of the Mexican Yucatan are decorated with stalactites of various shapes, sizes and colours. Nature is a great artist and her creations are truly impressive. This photo was taken while cave diving in the Otoch Ha cave. 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.
