A free diver exercises dynamic apnoea below an iced platform, in the chilly salt water of the White Sea, at minus 2 degrees Celsius. Must be extremely prepared, brave and self-controlled to free-dive, holding the breath, in ambient without a fast and clear access to the surface. Reaching the underwater world, is an adventure itself since a thick layer of ice bars the passages every night, due to very low temperatures, and every day one must cut ice holes (called mainas by locals) into the ice platform. Salted water needs very low temperature to freeze. Below the ice platform, the upper layer is a melt of fresh and salt water, allowing a surprising amount of life to thrive. Location: White Sea, northern Russia.

Werck. Lockheed L-1011 TriStar three-engine plane intentionally sunk in 2019. In addition to being a great attraction for divers, these sunken structures (generally ships, but also planes, military vehicles...) become artificial reefs helping in the repopulation of the underwater bottoms. This wreck is located in the Red Sea, at a depth of between 18 and 31 meters. Aqaba, Jordan.

Sargassum (Sargassum sp). Pollution, waste, plastic. The genus Sargassum is characterized by having gas vesicles known as “aerocysts” that provide them with buoyancy. Thanks to these “balls” of gas, some species of sargassum are able to remain floating on the surface of the ocean for months and the currents end up accumulating them, forming immense aggregations similar to floating islands. In the North Atlantic Ocean is the Sargasso Sea, which receives its name precisely because the presence of these gigantic aggregations on its surface is common. It serves as food, shelter and breeding area for many marine animals, such as crabs, turtles, shrimp and seabirds. At some times of the year it can appear stranded in large numbers on beaches exposed to the current and/or wind. Sometimes they are found mixed with drifting garbage such as ropes, plastics, bottles,... Playa Grande, Punta de Abona. Tenerife, Canary Islands.

Wreck, sunken ship. The SS THISTLEGORM is considered one of the most spectacular shipwrecks in the world for its scenic beauty. Flying the English flag, it was attacked and sunk by German bombers when heading towards the Suez Canal (October 1941). Their cargo is without a doubt one of the most peculiar that we can find under the surface of the seas: motorcycles, jeeps, military clothing, bullets, airplane wings, machine guns and a couple of locomotives and trucks. Sinai Peninsula. Red Sea, Egypt.

Diver in front of the largest artificial reef ever built for scuba diving (printed in 3D concrete), in the Marine Protected Area of the Agatha coast. This is the first time in the world that such a structure has been submerged. The reef is located off Cap d'Agde, 3 km from the coast, at a depth of 20 m. The module weighs 105 tonnes, measures 6.50 m high, 8 m long and 6 m wide, and offers 430 m3 of diving volume. Immersion will take place in July 2022, as part of the Recif'lab program run by the Aire Marine Protégée de la côte agathoise. An artificial reef to relieve the pressure of scuba diving on natural sites.
