My only complaint about this video is that it is not an hour long. Wonderful visuals, stunning work. No idea why some people hit dislike on this one.

How comes random videos of people eating junk food get millions of views, but videos such as this that take a long time to do and is about history, barely gets noticed. I don't understand

just went to a cenote and it was amazing the little catfish that swam around are so cute and the water is so nice and clear! It was def an amazing experience!

4:30 - Good explanation for the origin of the Karst topography, although I'd also add that there seems to be a distinct connection between the cenotes as they exist now and the impact ring formed by the Chixulub impact event that is believed to have killed the non-avian dinosaurs some 66 million years ago.

Maaan, as someone who loves nature, science and traveling, this is probably one of the best videos I've seen in my whole life. Thanks you so much for sharing the views and all the knowledge!!!

Great video!! Please make more like this🙏👍

Dom I totally agree that this is the safest type of dive you can do. Without having the cave roof the risk of objects falling from the sky is too high. Migration downwards, like the hair, is the only way to go. Legend

This video is great. It should have a lot more views. Nice work!

I’m in love with center diving, especially free diving. I am very interested in what may be found as they are sink holes that were once dry. Looking for things like Black Jacks pirate ship the supposedly carried the Nights of Templar and the Holy Grail. It’s so amazing that there is a entire world beneath us and 13, 000 year old bones down there! There was a civilization before us! Not aliens just able to hold their breath for long times when the ocean took her land back!

Just one thing. Mayans are still alive and thriving, theyre everywhere in the peninsula and this places are still sacred.

The Yucatan Peninsula is like a real life Metroid Prime location.

Seems quite probable that if cenotes were empty of water in the last big ice age, that a lack of fresh water would have been a problem in the mini ice age starting in 900AD.

This looks like a movie poster haha. would be a cool movie concept.

Just to be clear caverns have lots of ambient light and many places where you can, in fact, look out of the surface directly. It’s kind of cool to look up through the holes and see the trees in the jungle. On the other hand caves have no ambient, light and divers must be trained to a much greater level to be able to “safely” dive a cave. It’s pretty serious stuff and many of the best in the world never made it out alive. I’ve been lucky enough to dive Cote’s and they are a fantastic experience.

If they were sacrificing people like they make it sound. There would be thousands of bones. Scientists have discredited that. The Spanish church is the one fueling those old beliefs.

I thought this sacred cenote were murky and greeny water no?
