Plongée à Cenotes (Yucatan) — Mexico
The Yucatan's cenotes are flooded limestone sinkholes connecting to the world's longest underwater cave systems. Shafts of light pierce crystal-clear freshwater, haloclines create surreal visual effects where fresh and salt water meet, and ancient stalactites decorate passages that were dry during the Ice Age. Dos Ojos, The Pit, and Angelita are the icons.
