Grand Cayman Impressions

Dive photojournalists often go to the same places but rarely at the same time. In 2006, however, Alex Mustard participated in an imaging event called Digital Madness, and I was there to cover it for a magazine. That was our only time diving together on Grand Cayman.

Borneo

I rarely know as little about a destination before embarking on a liveaboard charter as I knew about Borneo. I had been to Borneo before, but it was after a […]

Galápagos

The seven days in the Galápagos went by too quickly, and I was ready to come back before I had even left. The Galápagos National Park and the tour operators greatly respect the destination, and conservation is their primary goal. Even with all the protections in place, the fishing industry, climate change and ocean health pressure the archipelago. Every tourist dollar that goes into the Galápagos adds persuasive emphasis that this is a place that deserves ongoing and stringent protection.

L'art de l'histoire de la plongée

L'INCONNU a toujours été un terrain fertile pour la mythologie, et les océans ont depuis longtemps inspiré des légendes et des récits de dieux et de monstres.

The Resplendent Reefs of South Africa’s Port Elizabeth

It is difficult to step out from the shadow cast by a famous family member long in the spotlight and to stake one’s own claim and create a different identity. I was reminded of this while reflecting on my relationship with diving in South Africa.

Sainte-Lucie

Looking down from space, the Windward Islands resemble an emerald necklace floating in the sea. Viewed from underwater, when you are immersed in that warm, blue sea and surrounded by colorful reefs bustling with life, the Windwards take on new dimensions.

Tonga’s Gentle Giants

Humpback whales feed in polar waters during the summer and then migrate to tropical or subtropical waters to breed during winter. Various locations offer seasonal whale-watching, but swimming with them is legal in only a few places — Tonga is one of them. Every year its warm and sheltered waters provide a nursery for the whales, which gather there between July and October after a long migration from Antarctica.

Fjords de Norvège

VOYAGER À TRAVERS LES FJORDS et sur les rivières a toujours été une partie importante de la vie en Norvège et en Scandinavie. Assister à la beauté des couchers de soleil depuis les premières loges sur les fjords ou suivre les aurores boréales qui dansent dans les sombres nuits d'automne et d'hiver sont des expériences à ne pas manquer. Découvrir ce qui se cache sous la surface sombre des insondables royaumes sous-marins est tout aussi fascinant pour les visiteurs qui choisissent de faire de la plongée en Norvège.

Puerto Galera

When you get off the boat on Sabang Beach, near Puerto Galera on Mindoro Island in the Philippines, a sign that reads “Welcome to Sabang, Your Gateway to the Center of the Center of Marine Biodiversity” greets you. That phrase defines the diving in the region, as you will not find more fish species anywhere else on Earth.
