Look for the teeny, tiny diver way at the bottom of the image.

Wow! That water is incredibly clear.

How did she get in? Are those tree roots or stalactites hanging down?

There must be a cave entrance because I have seen other pictures of the same cenote with several people in view, plus the photographer.

I didn't see any info about the stuff hanging down. My first reaction was that they are stalagtites, but I can't find where I might have read that.

It looks like spaghetti what fell through a hole in the colander.

It needs a hole defender.
