A diver descends into a cenote. “Like in a science fiction movie, the unique physical conditions of the cenotes offer alien experiences and photo opportunities,” says photographer Martin Broen. “In this photo a narrow beam of sunlight pierces the hole in the ceiling of the flooded chamber, passes through the crystal-clear water and hits the hydrogen sulphide cloud at 32m below the surface, framing the diver, abducted by the light.”
