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.

Saint Lucia

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.

Raksasa Lembut Tonga

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.

Fjord Norwegia

Bepergian melintasi fjord dan sungai selalu menjadi bagian penting dalam kehidupan di Norwegia dan Skandinavia. Menyaksikan keindahan matahari terbenam dari kursi barisan depan di fjord atau mengejar cahaya utara saat mereka menari di malam musim gugur dan musim dingin yang gelap adalah pengalaman yang tidak boleh dilewatkan. Menemukan apa yang tersembunyi di bawah permukaan gelap di alam bawah laut yang tak terduga di sini juga sama menariknya bagi pengunjung yang memilih untuk menyelam di Norwegia.

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.

Memanggil Penyelaman

Calling a dive is not as easy as just giving the thumbs-up signal. There are steps to follow after the signal to cancel a dive. The dive briefing should cover these procedures, and the greater the dive’s potential risk, the more attention to detail the procedures and briefing should have to make calling the dive happen as safely as possible.
