EZDIVE Diving Magazine ISSUE #107

As the cold weather gives away, the latest issue of EZDIVE arrives, bringing the warmth of spring. The cover captures the moment of seahorse babies’ birth, skillfully shot by Todd Aki, echoing the vibrant spirit of spring. It’s time to return to the embrace of the ocean!

Whether you enjoy observing underwater creatures, exploring shipwrecks, or marvelling at coral beauty, this issue will surely offer a suitable dive site for you. Alex guides us into the open waters of post-pandemic Myanmar. Timo also shares the gorgeous shipwrecks along the coast of Croatia. Richard leads us to the northern Red Sea, witnessing the magnificent coral reefs and wreck. Ken shares his experiences on liveaboard and the underwater wonders of Komodo Island.

In this issue, we also have South African freediving athlete Natalie Rudman, sharing insights into her journey as a competitive freediver. Kate provides a detailed exploration of macro photography techniques and considerations.

For divers, the ocean is precious, yet marine debris continues to persist. Taiwan Environmental Information Association shares their beach clean-up experiences and environmental protection advocacy, guiding us to rethink what the ocean wants to communicate to humanity through the marine debris.

COVER STORY

At the end of the dive, I glanced up and saw a strange sight – a seahorse was free-floating in the water column. Seahorses have a specialised, muscular tail they use to anchor themselves to stationary objects. Being midwater is not where they should be. Suddenly, the seahorse convulsed, and hundreds of babies emerged. With the next contraction, I was ready and captured shots of the next batch being released.
