A difficult but extremely interesting mission undertook the American photographer and diving instructor Troy Iloski, attempting to explore and photograph the Ancient Mayan sinkhole deep in the Mexican jungle.

The underwater cave at a depth of 122 meters in Quintana Roo of Mexico is believed that it was a place of sacrifice for the Mayans, and it is full of bones of animals and humans.

"I think the ancient Mayans use this giant hole for sacrifice or burial", describes the photographer.

It is believed that there are over 6000 sinkholes which were created naturally in Mexico, but less than half of them have been explored.
