Dive Sight
Photograph by Matt Lasky, National Geographic Your Shot
“I was diving off a live-aboard dive boat named Febrina in the Vitu Islands in West New Britain, Papua New Guinea,” writes Your Shot member Matt Lasky. “We were diving our second of five dives for the day and found this friendly turtle at about 22 meters [72 feet] that was happily swimming around the divers, checking us out. There was a large school of jacks closer to the surface, and I was fortunate enough to be below the turtle and see the jacks swimming in the opposite direction.”
I love diving and one day my hope is to master it well enough that I can learn to take beautiful pictures like this one.
The same here! 😀
Maybe this summer i will learn diving! Eehe. 😀
I’ve been diving a little longer than that, even though I don’t get to do it nearly as often as I’d like, but I’m still far from the level required to take such shots 😉
You have to be able to react in no time and yet maintain your stability while the rest of the world is moving and manage to fix that all in a microsecond… Pfew!!
Yeah! You are right! That’s very difficult. Life underwater is very intelligent, quick… So, we have to be even more intelligent and respectful to get this kind of images. 😀
