Polar bears feed primarily on ringed and bearded s Polar bears feed primarily on ringed and bearded seals. Depending upon their location, polar bears will also eat harp and hooded seals and will certainly feed on beluga whales, walruses, narwhals, and bowhead whale carcasses. The polar bear pictured here was one among four who were hanging out on a high rocky bluff overlooking the sea. This polar bear came down from the bluff to check up on the walrus carcass remains which was also being scavenged by some arctic foxes.  #travel  #PolarBears  #Svalbard #Norway with @polarquest #polarquest @visitnorway @northernnorway @visitsvalbard #polarbear #travel @rcgs_sgrc @cangeo @cangeotravel @hakaimag @toqueandcanoe @theoceanagency @rcgs_sgrc #writer @nikoncanada #explorerscanada @the_explorers_club @luxebeatmagazine #explorer  @cangeoedu @mobbys_jp  #mobbys @instapolarbears #bears #bearsofinstagram

Jacques Cousteau, arguably the most famous oceanog Jacques Cousteau, arguably the most famous oceanographer in the world, was once asked what species of shark he found to be the most dangerous. He responded by stating the Oceanic Whitetip Shark is “the most dangerous of all sharks” noting the occurrence of attacks on shipwreck survivors and their quick and agile group hunting skills. Though Great White Sharks have a reputation for being the most ferocious sharks in the water, Cousteau argues that because Oceanic Whitetip Sharks have killed more people, more efficiently, they are a much more dangerous species of shark.

MARTINI: The Elixir of Quietude, is our magnum opus... chef-d'œuvre... passionate homage praising the Martini cocktail. A departure from our normal subject matter, but something that was already largely written in our soul from experience. This story is heavy on the word count as we included some martini recipes along with historical content.  #martini #martinitime #cocktails

For the first time, Scuba Diver Australasia takes you outside our usual boundaries, going further in our Beyond column than ever before - all the way to Canada! Jett Britnell introduces us to cold-water diving in British Columbia, one of the most highly regarded dive regions in the world.” ~ Diego Andres Garcia, Editor, Scuba Diver Australasia magazine (Singapore).

As I recall, I emailed Diego just after 11PM and he responded within minutes.

“Leave me with my memories. With my true, beauti “Leave me with my memories. With my true, beautiful memories.” ― Ernest Hemingway  Another photo from May 1987, Nippo Maru Shipwreck, Truk Lagoon.  Another throwback picture that Neil McDaniel sent me. In this picture hanging on the deco line is my late, great, best friend, Jack Van Hove and “Bikini Girl.” She was nicknamed Bikini Girl because every day on the trip she modeled a new and spectacularly revealing bikini. Hence, most of the guys onboard eagerly waited for her to appear from her stateroom every morning. I believe her name was Sharon and she was a truly delightful guest throughout the trip. Anyway, I was there to make pretty underwater pictures and that’s me clutching my Aquatica underwater camera housing and a behemoth Subsea 150 strobe. I also traveled with a few Oceanic strobes back then, but those Subsea 150’s were the bomb with the most beautiful warm light balance. Most UW Photo Pros were using them back then and for good reason.  @rcgs_sgrc @cangeotravel @theoceanagency @the_explorers_club #lionfish #underwaterphotographer @rcgs_sgrc #writer @nikoncanada @aquaticadigital #explorerscanada #marinelife @the_explorers_club @luxebeatmagazine #truklagoon #chuuk #explorer #exploreroftheseas @cangeoedu  @paditravel #travel @mobbys_jp #aquaticadigital @duiken_magazine #mobbys @thescubanews

“I am a part of all that I have met.” – Lord “I am a part of all that I have met.” – Lord Tennyson  Photo from May 1987, Nippo Maru Shipwreck, Truk Lagoon.
A good friend, Neil McDaniel, sent me this photo which was made during a trip to Truk Lagoon in May 1987 with two other pals. This was an unusual trip insofar as the plan was to dive the WWII shipwrecks in Truk Lagoon for four days setting sail for Pohnpei which was 721 km (450m miles) distance away. Every day we dived remote areas of Micronesia that fewer than 100 divers, if any, had ever seen. On some reefs we were likely the only divers to ever explore those far-flung shark-infested depths. There were plenty of sharks… but they largely remained wary of the bubble-spewing aliens in heir midst.  While diving on the Nippo Maru I came upon Neil photographing this large lionfish Suspecting Neil might like to have an underwater model for perspective, I tucked my camera back, and moved into position. At the time, Neil was the editor of Canada’s DIVER magazine. Days earlier when we were lifting off the runway in Vancouver, Neil told me that they were going to run my story on Cozumel which was to be my first published article. We shared a lot of laughs on this trip as the late, great, Jack Van Hove and Gary Bridges were the other two friends sharing in this grand adventure.  @rcgs_sgrc @cangeotravel @theoceanagency @the_explorers_club #lionfish #underwaterphotographer @rcgs_sgrc #writer @nikoncanada @aquaticadigital #explorerscanada #marinelife @the_explorers_club @luxebeatmagazine #truklagoon #chuuk #explorer #exploreroftheseas @cangeoedu  @paditravel #travel @mobbys_jp #aquaticadigital @duiken_magazine #mobbys @thescubanews
