EZDIVE Diving Magazine ISSUE #116

Have you ever gazed into the eye of an octopus? This issue’s cover features a striking close-up captured by Vanessa, offering an intimate look into one of the ocean’s true masters of transformation. Flip through the pages and explore the many faces of this remarkable creature—its soft, flexible body, complex nervous system, and incredible camouflage abilities—all a testament to the wonder and intelligence of marine life.

In this issue, we also journey to three very different diving paradises. Tim takes us to Puerto Galera, the Philippines’ pioneering dive destination; Josh presents Lady Elliot Island, a true gem of the Great Barrier Reef; and Michel dives deep into the hidden treasures beneath the waves of Fernando de Noronha in Brazil. Our passion for diving fuels our drive to continually explore the vast, blue unknown.

In the gear section, we present a practical comparison of wetsuit materials—Neoprene, Yamamoto, and new eco-friendly alternatives—to help you choose the best suit for your next dive. Meanwhile, in our underwater photography column, Kate shares the transformative impact of attending a photography workshop, while seasoned dive duo Beth and Shaun offer guidance on how to choose your dream liveaboard and enjoy life at sea with confidence and comfort.

Thank you once again for diving deep into the world of knowledge with us. Stay safe and dive on.

COVER STORY 封面故事

During a night dive in Lembeh, my guide found a large starry night octopus crawling on the sea floor. It appeared to be on the hunt, and not shy at all. That gave me the opportunity to observe it in details and take close up shots with my 50mm macro lens.
