river under the sea mexico

there's a quote saying, These amazing pictures were taken by the professional diver Anatoly
Beloshchin in the cave Cenote Angelita, Mexico. Heres his description:
We are 30 meters deep, fresh water, then 60 meters deep salty water and
under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves Actually, the river,
which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulphide. It must be an
unforgettable feeling once youre there and see it with your own eyes.

other quotes, besides diving in fiji, diving cenotes in mexico is one of the most intense experiences you can ever have. the trippiest part is that when you dive in the caves, you will start at the top which is usually warmer saltier water (wait, i might be mixing this up) from the ocean, and as you go down you pass into colder fresh water. its a weird sensation, made absolutely trippy by the fact that where the barrier between the two is there is a crazy mixing effect that makes you feel like the cave is melting around you. its fun to stick your head right in the middle.

very true. In this case it is also a halocline where the difference between the temperatures of water is not only temperature but salinity. In this case, one is fresh, drinkable water, and the other is sea water that has seeped into the caves due to proximity to the ocean. There isnt much weirder than changing your depth by a few feet and being 15 degrees (F) warmer.
