About this audio guide
This guide to Cenote Angelita, a deep sinkhole south of Tulum, follows one diver's decade-long fixation on a single photograph of the site. You'll hear how a teenager on the other side of the world became obsessed with an image of a tree rising out of a ghostly cloud, and what drove her to chase that exact dive. Along the way it traces the layers of fresh and salt water that create the site's eerie hydrogen sulfide haze and the drowned trees resting beneath it. Advanced certification is recommended before descending into the cloud yourself.
