World's Best Dives — Unforgettable Encounters Across the Globe
Divine Illumination
(Editor's Note: Underneath Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is a system of caves, underground rivers and cenotes — sinkholes formed when the roofs of caves collapse. James Scott’s image of a diver exploring the Taj Mahal cenote perfectly captures the beauty of these subterranean systems — a constantly changing interplay between water and cave, fresh and salt water, and sunlight and dark — and was our pick for World’s Best Dive in our June issue.)
Site: Taj Mahal cenote
Location: Yucatan Peninsula
