"Diving in Mexico's incredible cenotes has been one of my dreams. Sunbeams shine through the water in the cavern section of the cave systems, creating a spectacular environment. Photographing these special places has become something of a challenge for underwater photographers. I captured this image early in the morning, the best time to chase nature's light show."
