Shame I cannot add my photo from 30 years ago, when I worked in Marsa Alam as a dive instructor .. I have dived this coral overhead environment (It is not a cave. Its only 6m deep) and it hasnt changed ... except for the bazillions of fish I saw!!

Where is all the marine life {sob}

Thought for the day: This is taken inside a coral reef .. a huge colony of mini beings .. you are the space invader!!!

The moment I looked past how cool the light shining through those corals looks (and to be fair, it looks awesome) I noticed the lack of fish or any other marine life as well. Global warming did those coral reefs unbelievably dirty :(

Looks like a cavern to me.

That bottom coral looks like a muscular man doing a pose.

It's more like tunnel diving on a reef. I did this Cosumel a while ago.

Beautiful place. You can see straight to the bottom in 60ft of water from above the surface.

Me too! That was a fun dive. I love drift dives.

u/como_la_florrr 22h ago

That's probably a Cenote with open/collapsed roof, there are many in Yucatan, Mexico. It's amazing even just to snorkel when there are the rats of light enlightening hidden entrance underwater. Scary, mysterious and amazing at the same time

Actual cave diving is damn dangerous

u/PM_ME_UR_ROUND_ASS 2d ago

Over 300 divers have died in underwater caves since the 70s, mostly from running out of air or getting lost in the labrynth of tunnels.

u/HelenaCFH 2d ago

Aaaah sure, underwater danger holes

u/JAM35B0ND 2d ago

We just need Bond diving for cover with bullet tracing through the water!

u/PossessionHot2419 2d ago

I think that might be the Avatar 3 trailer.

u/dadneverleft 2d ago

We think of very different things when we think “cave diving.”

All we need now is a dance floor and a DJ!

The one time the subname matches the post perfectly.

I won't go into a cave, in the water or out of it. I am petrified of being in any enclosed spaces like this. Thanks for the video, though. I can at least enjoy someone else's adventures.

Ngl I thought this was a screens shot from the plains area in mhwilds.

u/Al13n_C0d3R 1d ago

I would literally find a way to live down there. I would become one with the ecosystem, take care of it, become it's protector, become Aquaman, just so I can live there
