A Unique Place

This was a tough place to get a photo. To reach this spot, you have to dive into a raging current that is strong enough to rip your mask right off your face. Then, like superman flying through the water, you have to maneuver yourself to the entrance of a small underwater cave. Once you duck into the cave, you are free from the current. Exploring the cave is fun...you rise to the top, and you surface in the middle of a limestone hill with cliff and trees surrounding you 360 degrees. There are small underwater passages inside this little secluded oasis that are teaming with these unusual fish (I don't know the name of these fish)...it was very dark, so I set my camera and strobes to fire in rear curtain and had to hold my camera in a very awkward position to capture the trees and cliff just above the surface and the fish...

A pretty unique place underwater...
