Like a bird soaring through the ocean ๐Ÿฆ…๐ŸŒŠ A spotted eagle ray glides past us in the blue waters of Malpelo, effortlessly stealing the show. Encounters like this are why we travel to the edge of the Pacific. And we're only getting started... ๐Ÿคฟ๐Ÿ‘€#Malpelo #ScubaDiving

Practice slow, subtle movements to feel the gas gather and move through the suit. Too much gas? Raise your arm to move it to your upper torso. You'll feel your suit compress and get cold. #SpaceSuit #Astronaut

Wide beams act like underwater floodlights, bathing surroundings in soft light. Trying to light up a wreck with a narrow beam is like inspecting the Titanic with a laser pointer. #UnderwaterPhotography #ScubaTips
