DEEP in the depths of the ocean, hidden unique bell-shaped stalactites have been revealed in stunning new images.

    The creepy phenomenon lurking under the water in Yucatan, Mexico, was caught on camera by underwater photographer Rino Sgorbani.

    The deep limestone sinkhole, known as a cenote, is peppered with the massive collection of strangely beautiful bells.

    The bells — often described as hell’s bells, elephant feet, shower heads and trumpets — range in size from tiny to as big as a person.

    “It was a one-of-a-kind experience, and I experienced many great emotions,” Sgorbani said.

    The discovery was made in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, which is low and relatively flat with no surface rivers or streams.

    But beneath the surface is a different story with huge cenotes dominating the landscape.

    These cenotes are naturally formed pits or sinkholes made of limestone and some were used as a source of fresh water for Mayans with their entire towns built around them.(SD-Agencies)
