2nd place Adventure Photographer of the Year

Tom St George Mexico

20°16'29.0"N 87°29'35.8"W

"Safety, conservation and team diving are integral to cave diving, and cave diving photography is no different," says photographer Tom St George. "It is very much a team effort. Featured in this photograph is Ellen Cuylaerts, who hovers motionless and awestruck after passing through a series of small passages and emerging to a view of these gigantic formations, that took millennia to form, and that she is seeing for the first time!"
