ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The photo shows a diver moving in a flooded cave under the interface of salt and fresh water, which is called a HALOCLINE. Photographing near the halocline is very difficult because if the diver moves inappropriately, the salt and fresh water mix and visibility is almost zero from the photographer's perspective (look at the mixed water above the halocline in the picture). This image was taken while diving in the "Jardines del Eden - River Run" cave 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.
