I was going through some of my pictures and came across these photos I took last year in Playa del Carmen. The pictures are of Dos Ojos cenote. Thought I would post them up as an interesting Central American biotope. Sorry I don't have any underwater shots but there were a bunch of Mexican tetras and a few beat-up looking Cichlasoma uropthalamus.

would love to take a swim there for sure....
 
Looks amazing!
 
Been there, it is awesome. Went this past summer just outside of Tulum.
 
nature's wonder for sure! i would be scared to disrupt the intricate system of those cenotes though o.o bet those places are great for photography !
 
Those are some stunning photos! The color is so vibrant - I took a few photos of the same scene and mine are drab in comparison. Just goes to show what some photography skill and a good camera (two things I need) can do... :D

I've been to Dos Ojos a couple times, as well as quite a few other cenotes.

Here's a shot from the inside looking out, that's my wife in the photo. Sorry for the crummy quality, it is a frame from a video.
