22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Cave diving - the beauty beneath our feet

This shot was taken at Cenote Xulo, a stunning cave dive near Tulum, Mexico - famed for it's incredibly beautiful underwater caves and crystal clear waters. This section of cave is only a few minutes from the entrance, and is very shallow with only a few feet of limestone separating it from the world above. Nobody standing above would have any idea of the beauty lurking under their feet.
