Challenges include taking enough light into very dark places, managing the risk of adding tasks to an already task-loaded technical dive and finding something to photograph when there's not a single colorful critter in sight. On the other hand, the crystal-clear water, mysterious darkness and lure of the unknown can be a fantastic canvas for crea

ENGLISH On this occasion, the project I had in mind was to make a short film in which I could present myself and represent something of what we do in Advanced Diver Mexico.

Had a fantastic dive at "String of Pearls" today with Alberto Salvini and Fulvio Tiraboschi. It's a really interesting cave, h
