Jun 9, 2024 | scubascribbles.com | Candice Landau

Last Updated on June 9, 2024 by I’ve dreamed of becoming an underwater photography my whole life… Okay, that’s a lie. I didn’t even know underwater photography was a pastime (and for some, a career) until I actually learned to dive in 2016. Back then, GoPros were really the only thing on my radar. That said, it wasn’t long before the bug bit and I too wanted a camera. Put a GoPro in a diver’s hand and pretty soon they’ll be longing for a point and shoot.

Embracing the Deep in Chuuk Lagoon

Apr 25, 2024 | scubadiving.com | Candice Landau

05/01/2024 - Chuuk Lagoon did not appear to me as it does in pictures, a densely forested atoll of islands haloed in teal and indigo, sandbanks and beaches glowing pearlescent. It came to life instead in the dark, pinpricks of light sprinkled in a coalblack expanse of water and uninhabited land. Often referred to as the wreck diving capital of the world, Chuuk Lagoon was popularized in the 1970s by Jacques Cousteau, who explored and filmed its ghostly World War II shipwrecks.
