More than simply falling into wide areas of the water, though, the couple also handle to catch their bold marine adventures on camera. On one trip, using their Nikon D7000, some daylight, and a powerful set of lungs, possible snorkeling duo took an in-depth breathing slowly and engrossed themselves into the cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.

The pictures from this particular trip expose the incredible beauty of the organic underground reservoir. The marine landscape's spacious establishing is lighted by an perfect little angels mild loading in from above, making it possible for the duo to take some truly "breathtaking" photos. It's hard to believe that the two free divers were able to obtain the amazing pictures, let alone jump into the powerful pit without an oxygen tank. They were kind enough to each discuss their encounters .

Christina:

"As I descend below the water’s surface I am enveloped by silence and solitude. My thoughts are focused on the present; my movements, my technique, the increasing pressure on my lungs, the sensations of the water slipping over my body. I cannot allow myself to contemplate the depths to which I am going nor the formidable effort required to return, only that I am being peacefully drawn and entranced by the deep abyss in a peaceful meditative state of mind.”

Eusebio:

“My eyes are closed, my mind is focused, my thoughts are of my body as I plunge into the depths. I am aware of every sound and submerged vibration; the friction against the dive rope, the equlisation of my ears. With greater depth I can feel the intensifying pressure against my body. I sense the waters surrounding me are filled with life providing a sense of company. I am at peace, no one and nothing can harm me down there.”
