This phenomenon is called a halocline, in which fresh and salt water meet causing a sharp change in the salinity gradient of water. Haloclines are commonly observed in underwater caves located near the ocean. Fresh water originates from land creating a layer overlying the dense salt water accumulated from the sea. This causes an optical illusion in which the underwater cave appears to contain an unexplainable air cavity.

This is unbeliveably cool, yet somehow unsettling.

This relevant scene from Planet Earth Caves is still one of my favorite "woooooahhhhh" moments in the series
