Mexico - Yucatan
Located between the Gulf of Mexico and the Carraibean sea, the Yucatan peninsula presents a karstic topography characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes, locally called "Cenotes".
With depths sometimes well beyond 50 meters, cenotes used to be considered by ancient mayas as doors to the infraworld. Nowadays they are a paradise for cave or cavern scuba divers, and their so special atmosphere and light conditions makes them very unique for underwater photographers.
The sea around the Yucatan peninsula is of tropical type, with an abundant reef marine life and in season many whale sharks (in summer near Isla Mujeres) or female bull sharks (in winter around Paya del Carmen) coming here to give birth.
