Mon activité de traiteur en Californie se portait bien, mais plus elle se développait, plus j'étais stressé et plus j'avais envie d'être sous l'eau. La plongée et la photographie étaient cathartiques, et je revenais sans cesse à Anilao dans mon esprit.
DES TERMES DIFFÉRENTS PEUVENT PARFOIS DESCRIRE le même équipement dans l'industrie de la plongée. Ce que certains plongeurs appellent une lampe de plongée, par exemple, d'autres l'appellent une torche de plongée. Les deux étant physiquement identiques, les noms sont interchangeables et ne causent au pire qu'une confusion mineure.
IT’S NO SECRET THAT CARIBBEAN REEFS ARE IN CRISIS. Many stony coral species face an uncertain destiny, and some scientific predictors point toward extinction in the near future for some species.

It silently came and went, seemingly carefree, like a giant spotted apparition sliding out of sight into the deep blue.

I WAS 13 YEARS OLD THE FIRST TIME I WENT SCUBA DIVING. My family was on a trip to Cancun, and my dad took me and my sister, Carrie, who was 11 at the time, for a scuba lesson. We did a low-risk resort-style dive, going no deeper than 25 feet. But we loved the […]
