Hi guys! I just chanced upon these amazing images where divers have discovered a massive underwater river flowing along the bottom of the sea. This amazing undersea river is complete with trees and leaves, river banks, and even waterfalls! I thought I'd share this with you.
Under the sea of Mexico, there is a river called 'Cenote Angelita'. It was discovered by Anatoly Beloshchin and his group of divers. Here are the images:

"We are 30 meters deep, fresh water, then 60 meters deep - salty water and under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves… Actually, the river, which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulphide," Anatoly Beloshchin said.
This underwater river is a complete river like any conventional one. It flows as much as 115 feet deep at some places, with flow of both fresh water and salty water at varying depths.
Scientists have suspected that undersea rivers can form, after sonar scans of the sea bed have revealed meandering channels in many of the world's oceans.
Ever since news of such rivers under sea were public, scientists all over the world have been looking for more such examples. Many have been found and even more will probably be discovered in the near future.
