Slow travel, ethical tech, and things that make me go “huh.” Here for thoughts in progress and photos that didn’t make the website.

Ah I see what you mean now that you mention it, but ultimately still stunning. I would love to get more into underwater photography with some better equipment than a GoPro alone.

That lighting! How does one know whether the crab is right- or left-handed? Is it the size of their claw?

💡 Post-dive: Mystery solved when I removed my BCD. My weights were sitting right there… in an EMPTY tank holder. I was so focused on everyone else’s gear, I skipped my own final check. Lesson learned: The last gear you check is YOUR OWN. 🙏

💪 Crisis mode initiated. I remember I’d put emergency weights into my fellow DM’s pockets. I signal “weight” to her, she flashes back “cool!” 🤦♂️ I finally stop her, extract a weight from her pocket, and slip it into mine. Instant relief and a safe ascent secured. 😮💨 (3/4)

🚨 Mid-dive, I realize: I have ZERO weights in my BCD. My tank is getting lighter, and we’re nearing the surface where there’s heavy boat traffic. 🤯 k signal “weight” to my instructor, and he just shrugs like “figure it out.” Okay. Fine. (2/4)
