Inside the Cage: Shark Cage Diving in North America

Sharks have long held a unique fascination for people the world over and for SCUBA divers, being in the water with these creatures has always been a high adrenaline activity. There are many shark dives the world over, but divers need not travel to exotic destinations to witness sharks in their natural element.

Join Eco-Photo Explorers as they venture inside the cage right here in North America to dive with Blue Sharks in California, Rhode Island and New York. This program will conclude with heart-stopping action from Mexico’s Isla de Guadalupe, home to some of the largest Great White Sharks in the world.

Crossing the Antarctic Circle: Extreme Diving at the End of the World

Antarctica is often referred to as the frozen continent. It has long held a fascination for explorers and adventurers the world over.

It Came From the Muck: Indonesia's Lembeh Straight

For some divers, travelling half-way around the world is only worth it if there are big animals, fabulous coral reefs or spectacular shipwrecks to explore. But Indonesia's Lembeh straight, between Lembeh Island and the mainland of North Sulawesi, is a world away from home and presents a completely different type of experience. Here, divers explore a sandy, silty, muck bottom to search for the tiniest of creatures. Garishly colored Nudibranchs, myriad species of shrimp, and other invertebrates unique to these waters beckon divers from all around the world to come and find what lies lurking in the muck!

Join Eco-Photo Explorers as they search for Pygmy Sea Horses, Dwarf Frogfish, tiny Cuttlefish and numerous other surprises in these fascinating waters. Along the way, experience the mating of the gaudy but shy Mandarinfish and uncover the secrets of Lembeh at night.
