ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Nature is a magician who can create beautiful things. These things include the world of flooded caves in Mexico's Yucatan. This peninsula is famous for being crisscrossed with hundreds of miles of flooded caves. Their stalactite decorations are fascinating. This image, taken at Tux Kupaxa Cave, captures just a tiny fraction of that beauty. This photograph was taken using a total of five flashes while cave diving in Yucatan, Mexico.

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.
