Underwater 'River' In Mexico

[bowzer85]

If you are a professional diver you should visit Cenote Angelita, Mexico. There's some kind of cave. When you go deeper than 30 meters the water is fresh, deeper than 60 - it's salty. And then you see a river underneath, with trees and leaves. But of course, it's not a real river. It's just a layer of hydrogen sulphide. But it looks amazing.

In a cave?

Look at the pictures, you can see the top is open. Plus no way to get that much light in without the sun.
