It always looks cooler and makes a better photo when the sunlight reflects off the glass mask lens like in this shot. But it's pure luck , almost no way to plan it..

More Grogonians for you...
We are coming to the end of the rainy season in Bali. That means lush green plants and crystal flow waterfalls. It also means clear blue water and more photos like this:

What is your earliest memory of being in the water

What is your earliest memory of being in the water or ocean?

I remember my dad (who was never a strong swimmer himself) teaching me how to swim at a very young age...

He would take me in the pool and then let go of me, moving a few steps back, encouraging me swim towards him. I remember so clearly because it was very scary! When I reached him, he would take another step back forcing me to keep swimming. I remember thinking: "crazy papa want me to drown!?" But just look at me now...

Please comment below; does this coral look like a Gorgon? Is it "terrible" or "repulsive" to you?
To me it looks like veins and arteries with no body...

Into the shadows we must go, deeper and darker.
We must first descend in order to later emerge.
The last pat of a journey can feel difficult. Your legs are tired. You might question the journey itself.

Just stay present.

Just testing Instagram still works... I haven't posted for a long time. Here's a photo of my last three students.

It's been a chaotic 1.5 years. As a collective and as individuals. Personal and global struggles. Necessary? Refinement? Reinvention? Evolution? Devolution? Destruction. Shiva. Kali. Dragging the dark through the light... And it's ugly.
Anyway, I'll reign it in now.

We're still learning to live with uncertainty. I'm very grateful to be able to keep doing my job, supporting myself with an energy. My dream. My life.

Freediving.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the core of my soul.

"The masculine choses a single goal and moves in that direction, like a ship cutting through a vast ocean, the masculine decides on a course and navigates the direction. The feminine energy itself is unfocused but immense, like the wind and deep currents of the ocean, ever changing, beautiful, destructive, and the source of life." - David Deida. @freediversam 4 @nistiairene . . . . . . . .

Reposting this nice photo by Tobias Friedrich. I learnt to freedive in 11 degree water. My lips used to get so cold they would swell up and so numb that I couldn’t engage them around the snorkel anymore... oh the good old days 🤣 ......

Between the setting of the sun and the black of night, dusk is a potent, magical time, for in its eerie half-light (according to folklore found around the globe) one can cross the borders dividing our mundane world from supernatural realms. ⁣

⁣“Anytime that is ‘betwixt and between’ or transitional is the faeries’ favorite time. They inhabit transitional spaces like the bottom of the garden: existing in the boundary between cultivation and wilderness. Or at the edges of water, the spot that is neither land nor lake, neither path nor pond. They relish moments of ‘flux and flow’: the hush between night and day, the times of change between one season and the next. They come when we are half-asleep. They come at moments when we least expect them; when our rational mind balances with the fluid irrational.” - Brian Froud⁣

Sunset sessions… 30 seconds before I realized my camera housing had flooded a little bit. You can see droplets on the inside of the dome port. It turned out to be a grain of sand that was hiding in the O-ring. I cleaned the O-ring and applied silicon grease. The camera and housing lived happily ever after…⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣Free immersion technique (climbing down and up holding the rope) is a great way for beginners to start freediving. By climbing down/up we can go slower and focus on equalization. We also use less energy compared to swimming.⁣

The light in your images will differ depending on the time of day. ⁣

⁣I like shooting at the start or end of the day when the sun is low in the sky. This often gives increased contrast with interesting shadows and beams of light. ⁣

⁣Shooting in the middle of the day when the sun is high in the sky will produce very evenly lit and less dramatic images. I love beams and shadows. It really depends on what style/atmosphere you are going for…” ⁣

During rainy season in Bali nutrients are washed from the land into the ocean providing more food for phytoplankton. An increase in phytoplankton means an increase in Medusozoa (jellyfish). ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Different species bloom at different times over the rainy months. Its probably also to do with ocean currents and other variables. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Some small fish are immune to the stings of the jellyfish and live among the tentacles, they are safe from potential predators and are able to share in the fish caught by the jellyfish. ⁣

⁣@nistiairene is getting a good look 🙂 ⁣

Get too close and the spikes come out... Puffer fish can unhinge their jaw and gulp a lot of water very quickly to increase their size, splaying defensive spines outward. This deters potential predators from attack. But do not make them do it just for fun, its very exhausting.
