Plongée à Cenote Angelita — Mexico
Cenote Angelita's famous 'underwater river' is actually a hydrogen sulfide cloud at 30 metres that looks like a flowing river complete with fallen trees — one of diving's most surreal sights. Descending through the halocline into the saltwater layer below requires Advanced certification and steady nerves. Otherworldly.
