Every diver knows the golden rule: plan your dive, dive your plan.
But this edition of the Explorer Digital Digest takes that mantra beyond safety stops and surface intervals — into how we prepare, engage and take responsibility for the way we explore the ocean.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- The seasonal spectacles of the Coral Triangle from manta ballets to “snowfalls” of coral spawning
- The hidden carbon footprint of scuba tourism, and how divers can make every journey count
- Spotlights on community movements like #Makrogehtimmer and the upcoming REAL FOCUS 2026 Shootout
- Insights from judges and photographers who are shaping the future of ethical underwater storytelling
- Gear and safety features, including the revolutionary Avelo System and a re-examination of flying after diving
We invite you to question assumptions, make suggestions and give ideas for stories that can shape the oceans we love.
