Located in the Bay Islands of Honduras, Roatán is a tropical gem nestled in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The largest of the Bay Islands, Roatán sits about 30 miles off the Honduran coast between Utila and Guanaja. Its fringing reef system makes up the southernmost edge of the Mesoamerica Reef (the world’s second-largest reef system) and is arguably Roatán’s biggest attraction.
I SUSPECT THAT MY LOVE FOR SABA was set in motion the first time my father threaded King Kong onto our home projector. It was the original black-and-white film from 1933 — and if you’ve never viewed it, you should. I watched, enthralled, from my comfy beanbag chair as a ship carrying a film crew motored through […]
LAUT ADRIATIK TIMUR sebening kristal memang menjanjikan dan menggoda. Pulau-pulau kecil dengan pantai berbatu, tebing-tebing tegak, dan danau-danau tersembunyi, menawarkan berbagai lingkungan dan ekosistem yang termasuk yang paling utuh dan murni di Mediterania. Bagian selatan Laut Adriatik di Kroasia memiliki dataran tinggi berbatu yang curam dengan banyak jembatan, retakan, dan gua. Laut telah membuka celah-celah di bebatuan berpori, mengukir dan membentuk katedral yang seluruhnya terbuat dari batu kapur.
The drive to Eastport from my home in southern Maine would typically take about four and a half hours, but I was towing my boat so I prepared for more than six hours on the road.
Kisah pencarian kapal selam Jepang I-52 adalah salah satu dari dua penemuan yang dipisahkan oleh waktu dan tujuan. Dalam kegelapan malam di Samudra Atlantik pada tahun 1944, kapal anti-kapal selam Angkatan Laut AS mencari pertemuan rahasia antara kru angkatan laut Jerman dan Jepang. Beroperasi berdasarkan informasi intelijen yang diperoleh, mereka berusaha mengejutkan dan menenggelamkan kedua kapal selam tersebut. Setengah abad kemudian, I-52 masih belum ditemukan di dasar laut, tetapi kali ini pencarian dilakukan dalam kegelapan lautan dalam untuk mengejar kemungkinan, bukan kehancuran.
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.
This is Fakarava — a remote atoll in French Polynesia that feels more like a gateway to another world than a dive destination. Nestled in the remote Tuamotu Archipelago, this UNESCO biosphere reserve is where discriminating divers come to leave the ordinary behind.

“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.
