That is wicked
That is way too much trouble to download, and convert. Can someone give a synopsis?
I'm going to have to find the good photos, but here are some others:

It's basically a hydrogen sulfide layer in a cave that gives a REALLY neat photo impression of being a river almost. The air clear water in the cave lends to the impression. Pretty neat looking visual effect.
Sorry about the movie, I picked it up off a general link/photoblog and didn't check to see the format.

I can't read original photographers site to get into the right gallery, but tecdive.ru is the host.
Here's another posting showing some of his images which is what really caught my eye.

Ok so i have debated on if i need to say this or not but i'm going to go ahead and say it. How does the hydrogen sulfied becomed layerd like that? Under that layer is there more cave or is that the bottom? Just curious

There is no limit. We'll always find a way to go deeper and deeper. That's been the pattern all along.

It's gotta be the bottom of the cave. With all that vegetation in the system it must be rotting and producing the sulfide. At least that is my guess. We see that layer in some of the quarries we dive up in Wisconsin.
It reminds me a little of a cave on Cozumel called Aerolito (Areolito...everyone spells differently). The freshwater flows a little on top of the salt. There is a section in the cave that has this cool white/yellow bacteria on the ceiling and you can see the fresh water flowing on the ceiling like a river with the bacteria waving in the flow. It hits a rock at one point and flows down, then up, looking like an inverted waterfall. Pretty neat.

I can't speak for that particular cave, but it may not be the bottom. I have swam through HS layers, and found lots more cave under them. FWIW, that stuff is TOXIC!. Not just to you, but also your gear. I have had to replace stainless steel parts in my backup regulators because they rusted. No Russell, I didn't forget to rinse my gearOriginally Posted by J_glenn06
