The Cenote Angelita, which translates as 'little angel', reveals what looks like a river winding through a forest to divers. The swirling mist of the 'river' is actually a cloud of the gas hydrogen sulfide created by the mix of fresh and salt water.

Divers can swim through the cloud, which appears 90ft down, to find another 90ft descent below. Submerged in deep water, one of the last things a diver may expect to find below the surface is a river view.

But that's exactly what awaits those bold enough to dive in Mexico's Cenote Angelita.

The eerie landscape of swirling mist looks like a flowing river in the middle of the cave, complete with trees emerging from the surface.
