Wow, great video, and what a beautiful cave! A quick note on the presence of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in the halocline you observed. The dangerous chemical that may be present in the halocline is actually hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which is indeed toxic and your recommendation for caution is well founded. Sulfuric acid is what’s called a strong acid which means that not only is it corrosive to many organic materials, tissue, and metals, but in water, it will completely disassociate being reduced to hydronium (H3O)+ and sulfate (SO42-) ions. That’s why we can dump gallons of it in a swimming pool to adjust pH without fear of disintegrating like a murder victim when we later jump in. Hydrogen sulfide, on the other hand, is found readily in haloclines. While it is generally observed in gas form, it is soluble in water and can become trapped in a halocline because it is denser than freshwater but less dense than saltwater. Again, awesome video, please keep posting!

Thank you so much for the info, now I’m really annoyed I got that wrong lol…you seem to be pretty familiar with that type of environment, what is your background?

Wow! Really enjoyed this video. We’re looking to dive here next spring and appreciate all the great info. Looking forward to more.

Wow. That was beautiful. Bones that deep? So, the sea level has been rising since, huh? I'm from Hawaii. Can you imagine just the peaks of our mountains protruding out of the ocean. Wouldn't that dive be awesome seeing the lost cities of the Hawaiian islands?😐

Amazing as always!!!

That was awesome! I've always wanted to know what that was like. But I have issues with deep water so scuba is out.

Well done!

Nice video, around Tulum there are other caves with a much more impressive halocline ....

I would love to go back and check them out! I was able able to do a few dives on that trip so I didn’t get a chance to explore as much as I wanted…which ones do you recommend?
