Our first dive was on the Heian Maru, an enormous Japanese passenger and cargo liner that had been converted into a submarine tender during World War II. At more than […]

L'histoire de la recherche du sous-marin japonais I-52 est celle de deux découvertes séparées par le temps et l'objectif. En 1944, dans la nuit noire de l'océan Atlantique, les navires anti-sous-marins de la marine américaine ont recherché une rencontre clandestine entre des équipages allemands et japonais. S'appuyant sur des renseignements recueillis, ils ont cherché à surprendre et à couler les deux sous-marins. Un demi-siècle plus tard, le I-52 n'a toujours pas été découvert sur le fond marin, mais cette fois-ci, les recherches se sont déroulées dans l'obscurité des profondeurs de l'océan, à la recherche d'une possibilité et non d'une destruction.

WHILE THE WORLD WAS STILL MOSTLY LOCKED DOWN with travel restrictions, my social media feed was alive with gorgeous photos from the Maldives. The Maldives opened sooner than most foreign dive destinations, so there was ample photographic inspiration for our trip in May. The online coverage included the whale sharks, manta rays, tiger sharks, and […]

As a diver and photographer, I seek remote locations offering unparalleled underwater experiences. The farther away and the fewer the people, the better. Papua New Guinea is such a place.

Along the wild Atlantic coast of Argentine Patagonia lies one of the most extraordinary marine wildlife sanctuaries in the world. Each year the sheltered gulfs surrounding Península Valdés transform into […]

“Pura vida!” our dive guide, Sergio, exclaimed with a relaxed smile. Eight dive buddies, Sergio, and I just had an incredible experience: A 35-foot-long whale shark swam a few feet over our heads at one of the better-known dive sites at Cocos Island, Costa Rica. It silently came and went, seemingly carefree, like a giant spotted apparition sliding out of sight into the deep blue.

Great white sharks are capricious fish. They are iconic, impressive, photogenic, and awe-inspiring but also frustrating. That frustration is not all about the animal — part of it is how few places in the world you can go to see them.

Le Royaume de Thaïlande, un vaste pays d’Asie du Sud-Est légèrement plus grand que la Californie, partage des frontières terrestres avec quatre pays et borde un cinquième par la mer.
