We’ve posted before about the amazing underwater waterfall illusion off the coast of Mauritius. No it’s not actually a waterfall, but it can appear to be one from above! The illusion is caused by the trails of sand on the sea floor being dragged away by water going between the opening in the reefs (La Passe).

Videographer ReubenMRU flew his drone high above the island to show video footage of what it looks like.
