Recalling 2025, the UWPC success remains vivid. Thanks to photographers globally! We present our award winners, featuring Jack Pokoj’s vibrant Frogfish cover to kick off the new year.
Planning your 2026 travels? Follow Josh to Ribbon Reefs for the seasonal minke whale congregation, or join Ali in exploring the rich resources of Portugal’s Berlengas Islands. Meanwhile, Timo dives into Hurghada, where history and nature coexist in a silent underwater sanctuary.
Furthermore, Vanessa explores the elegance of green turtles, while Ben shares exclusive techniques for freedivers to capture award-winning shots. Beth finds a glimmer of hope on Dhuni Kolhu, where a subtle commitment to sustainability proves that small intentions can spark massive waves of change.
Feeling overwhelmed by information and mentally exhausted? Escape into the deep. Explore ‘Blue Mind’ science and mindfulness to rediscover inner stillness. This new year, make diving your spiritual retreat.
We are delighted to begin 2026 with you. May this issue enrich your diving life as we embark on this brand-new journey together!
