" CENOTE  ANGELITA" , 
a  river  under the ocean . But, is  it  possible  in  our earth???


This river located in  Mexico , under the Mexico ocean. How ,can it possible , "river under sea ". A  group  of divers have discovered  it  many  years  ago. " CENOTE " is  a   Spanish  equivalent of  the  "Maya "  word  for  a  water  filled  limestone sinkhole. According  to  Anacholi  Baloshchin  and a  group  of  divers  who were first  ones  to  discover  this  phenomenon . This  river  flows 115  feet  deep with flow  of  both fresh  water  and salty  water.It's  has  both scientific and natural truths. Recently Scientists have discovered many  queries and confusion abut this place.


♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️   Scientific  explanation  about  this  phenomenon :
Thousands  of  year  ago ,glaciers  covered  much of the planet.As  the ice  age ended, glaciers  melted .The ocean  rose ,and  fresh water was trapped in sediments below the waves . "CENOTE ANGELITA " is a collection of fresh water under the sea.


  🌀🌀1. There  is a  layer of Hydrogen sulfide, which is  the result  of mixing of the fresh water with the salt water.Hydrogen  sulfide  often from the bacterial breakdown of organic  matter in the absence of oxygen. Hydrogen sulfur cloud looks like  a riverbed  beneath with complete large branches  of  trees and  leaves.


🌀🌀 2.Rain water  absorbs a  gas (Carbon dioxide) from the air,from a  weak acid.
The weak acid dissolves a mineral in the limestone  called  calcite. Overtime, the limestone is dissolved and a  cenote is formed.


🌀🌀 3. This , sinkhole  is a ancient place of MAYAN civilization. As, erosion continues  this  thin  roof  eventually  collapses ,leaving  an open,water filled hole.
Over thousands of years, erosion and  earthquake  gradually fills  the cenote with organic and  mineral debris. 


So, it's  a famous  place on  Mexico as a  natural  sinkhole. "CENOTE  ANGELITA " 
is a  best reserved for open water divers who have great buoyancy control and have a long experience in diving situations.Cause, divers need to dive down to a depth of  60 metres. There's  a  cloud of Hydrogen sulfide, so ,they needs light before diving on the river. Experienced and  advanced divers can enjoy this place,
