This issue happens to be the show directory for DRT SHOW Malaysia 2020, we exclusively invited Azua Shafii to share some tips about freediving competitions as well as asking the Tropical Research And Conservation Centre (TRACC) for the latest on marine conservation in Malaysia Borneo. Also, our featured photographer for this issue is ManBd Uid who has now joined forces with his talented wife, Ipah Uid, in the underwater photography world.

无论你是第一次，还是第一百次潜入水中，水面下的世界每每都能带给你惊艳的感受。如果你是一个战舰迷，那绝不能错过关岛，这是一个全年皆适合潜水的地区，保存着二战时期的沉船遗迹；而在佛罗里达潜水，怎能少了与海牛近距离接触的机会呢？倘若你着迷于微距之美，本期提供你毛里求斯与蓝碧海峡两处选择，不妨就当作下一次微距摄影的参考吧！

在美丽之外，苏淮提醒我们看见与关注海洋的哀愁。一次与拉出“塑便”海龟的相遇，开启了苏淮搜集海龟粪便的嗜好，六年以来，他记录近两百条海龟粪便，有了惊人的发现。

在学习自由潜水的路上，当你往更高等级迈进时，你可能会使用到鼻夹，Harry Chamas分享了他的自由潜水鼻夹技巧；Kate Jonker也和大家分享她拍摄鱼像时的小秘诀。

无论你是水肺潜水员或是自由潜水员，希望这一期EZDIVE可以给你带来些灵感，做足准备迎接潜水季的到来。

欢迎来到EZDIVE的第一百期！

自2006年发行首期至今，EZDIVE已经出版一百期，这是一趟多么美好的旅程。在庆祝“100”的同时，伴随新的一年的到来，这实在是太令人兴奋了。

配合100期的出刊，自由潜水员Harry分享他的100公尺下潜经验与心路历程；我们也邀请外稿作者们齐聚一堂，分享他们心目中的顶级潜点，汇集成一张潜点地图。

当然还有每期都不会缺席的潜点介绍，想与灰海豹来场亲密互动吗？跟着Richard前进法恩群岛；接着我们转向亚洲，Brooke带你造访“最后的潜水天堂”拉贾安帕；至于Beth与Shaun夫妇，则是在马尔代夫展开疫情后的首次潜水。说到马尔代夫，Reefscapers用他们自制的珊瑚骨架，复育此处的珊瑚，期望后人能亲眼目睹珊瑚的美丽。

2023年，就让EZDIVE继续带来一场又一场令人兴奋、充满冒险的纸上潜游。

一封封的信件往来，让我留意到越来越多的外稿作者不是在潜水，就是在前往国外潜水的路上。旅游的复苏着实令人喜悦，本期我们依然为你带来精彩的潜点介绍，包括了拥有不同岛屿风情的夏威夷；全年都适合潜水的红海，丰富的海洋生物让人目不暇给；如果你有与鲨鱼共游的梦想，那么斐济会是你下一堂旅程的选择！
 延续上期，Alex继续带来精彩的黑水摄影进阶技巧；Simon则是告诉你该如何挑选一支适合你的潜水电脑表。同时，Harry提供了五个选项，让你在世界各地享受不同海底样貌的自由潜水训练。 
2022年的最后一期，就用冰天雪地的加拿大封面画下句点。挥别疫情阴霾，迎向崭新的一年吧！

Have you ever watched the documentary film My Octopus Teacher? In this issue of EZDIVE, we follow Kate around the kelp forests of Cape Town in South Africa, where this amazing underwater spectacle is located. Further east, on Lady Musgrave Island in the southern Great Barrier Reef, you’ll have the chance to witness the hatching of sea turtles just like Katie did. Next, Henley delivers a great ‘underwater action movie.’ You’ll see what I mean when you see his photos of gannets on Shetland, to the north of Scotland.

Cephalopods are mysterious and dreamy with their faint blue glow. It is often said that blackwater photography is like stars shining in the darkness of night, so our contributor Alex shares his tips on blackwater photography without holding back. Finally, if you’re learning freediving, you may be struggling with equalization. Harry offers some advice on how, with practice, you can overcome this common problem for new divers.

With only a few months left in 2022, have you completed all your diving plans for the year?

八月想必是热门的潜水季，想要跳进水里的心蠢蠢欲动，这当然也包含我们的特约编辑Beth和Shaun夫妇。看见越来越多潜水目的国打开国门，他们提供了关于重启潜水旅行的一些建议！
如果你喜欢沉船，Anthony的亚喀巴之旅一定可以满足你。接着往南走，Timo带领我们领略沙特阿拉伯的水下之美。最后，跟着Henley来到菲律宾临近宿务的莫阿尔博阿尔见证沙丁鱼奇观！
哥斯达黎加海洋保护组织正为保护当地珊瑚礁系统的健康而努力奋斗，他们运用珊瑚碎块去培养足够健康且具有繁殖力的珊瑚。而与珊瑚一样拥有色彩斑斓外表的海蛞蝓，你在潜水时肯定有看过它们！想要用镜头记录捕捉它们奇特可爱的身影，Kate带你从零开始拍摄海蛞蝓。
在水中享受夏天吧！

这期的EZDIVE中，我们可以来场精采的纸上潜游，从日本的东海岸、法国的马约特岛到澳洲的豪勋爵岛。

為了生態保育並未開放一般民眾觀光的東沙島，它的美丽令人向往，苏淮带领我们登上东沙环礁，一睹“南海指环”丰富的海域生态。

与湿衣相比，干衣的结构较为复杂，所以在挑选上需要做比较多功课，想必你会好奇如何选购合适的干式潜水衣，Timo为我们提供了一些建议，相信会对你有所帮助。

两年以来对抗疫情的小心翼翼，直到现在与病毒共存已成为各国趋势。让我们拿出尘封已久的潜水装备，是时候该去潜水啦！

台北国际潜水暨度假观光展于上个月落幕，时隔三年举办的实体潜水展，想必潜水员们都为此感到兴奋吧！潜水季即将到来，你准备好了吗？

在本期中，Simon带领我们前往香港一探究竟，你可能对它一无所知，然而一旦深入了解，香港水下世界的生物多样性肯定会让你深深着迷！Timo为我们带来他最爱的六座高山淡水湖；而Tim则是造访了重新开放国门的帕劳，感受它一如既往的魅力。

除此之外，Henley与我们分享将照片转为黑白色调的技巧，当照片只剩下黑与白时，反而会让我们看见未曾关注的细节，现在就打开你的照片编辑软件，试试看吧！

新的一年翩然而至，我们也都开始适应了新的潜水例行公事……在每次出国潜游时，要多规划出游前、后的隔离时间，在开始放慢脚步的同时，我们似乎也不得不学会了要保持耐心，并“先坐好，评估情况再说”。（电影《不要抬头》里的台词）
那为何不评估一下我们这期里报导的潜点呢？《潜进宿务》作者Henley介绍宿务里一些尚待被探索的秘密潜点；Pierre要带你前往巴西一探那些神秘的洞穴，也和我们分享他在那潜水的心情；居住在皮库岛的Monique要推荐我们那里的生物多样性与纯粹的大自然⸺无论是水下还是陆上。
在我们潜返大海前，Simon建议我们要回到“适潜状态”；Alex凭着他永远出色的水摄作品，教导我们如何在最佳拍摄时机按下快门，留下永恒。自由潜水员们也不妨读读Timo的文章，他将解释为何要静态闭气，以及一些小技巧。

As the final issue for year 2021, let’s refresh your brain with some amazing
underwater images. EZDIVE has been proud of its photo selection quality. Let’s start with the cover photo taken in Hong Kong Sea by a simple digital camera (TG6), and it’s just really RED in my opinion of view, it’s very Christmas. Then we dig deep into the life of our cover photographer Vania Kam, one of the most awarded international photographers, and found out how she started all and what she is going to do next. Lin Qing, another renowned and highly-respected photographer, again shares his photography tips about the use of light.
Of course, we have provided few diving destination ideas for you including
Brittany, an often overlooked dive spot in France; Madeira, to satisfy you with both macro and wide-angle marine life; and Bali, needing no expanation since it’s the most visited place for Asian divers. Also in this issue, Matt Yang returns to the starting point and explains what freediving truly is to our readers and Simon Lorenz shows us some photos of whale sharks with parasites. Lastly, rising start photographer Music Lin from Taiwan shares some of her favourite works with EZDIVE readers.
Let’s get some visual satisfaction before we plan our trips for 2022.

Many of us are lucky enough to have had our two jabs (Covid-19 vaccines) now, and we are all ready to hit the road once the travel bans are lifted. But where we should go? Are those we have yearned for dive sites opened yet? Well, allow our EZDIVE contributors to give you some ideas before 2022. First, Henley is taking us to Kandooma Thila, one of the premier dive sites in Maldives, location of the world’s largest population of reef mantas. Then, local professional photographer Alex endorses Richelieu Rock, Thailand as a place that satisfies both macro and wide-angle photographers. And last, La Palma in the Canary Islands is also making its debut in EZDIVE, and Timo reports on the exciting dives and varied marine life. Also in this issue, Ipah Uid Lynn exhibits her nudibranch photos collection to EZDIVE readers while Shane explains why seagrasses are a major key in fighting against climate change. Steve shares his wreck photography tips, and most importantly, in my point of view, Beth tells us how to get prepared before a dive trip, as safety is always the prerequisite to ensure we get to keep diving.

It’s not likely you will think of the UK when you are considering a diving destination, but Henley is going to show us how much British water have – including nearly half of the world’s grey seals. Next, let’s go for an underwater archaeological tour of the Greek island of Alonnisos in the Aegean Sea with Timo Dersch; the marine life there is also diverse. And last, Grant is leading us to Milford Sound in New Zealand, a region perfect for any photographer no matter whether above or below water. Apart from the fjord itself, the scenery is quite spectacular.

In this issue of the magazine, you will get a peek at Palau’s tropical vistas, the rich biodiversity off the north east coast of Taiwan and a haven for underwater photographers – Moorea in the South Pacific. I am pretty sure this is the debut for Moorea in EZDIVE and I hope you will put it on your bucket list. As coral bleaching is getting worse every year around Taiwan, Taiwan Environmental Information Association (TEIA) started a marine conservation act for all – check it out and sign up if you are also an enthusiastic conservationist. Again, freediving guru Matt Yang shares his experiences about Frenzel equalization along with a reminder from our columnist Simon Pridmore about the importance of oxygen when diving. In addition, get well-prepared by reading the column ‘Diving Safety’ if you are intending to try current diving in the future. Finally, we complete this issue with Zola Chen’s artistic cetacean photos in black and white, and open the second half of this year with faith and hope for the future.

In this issue, Ali Postma is taking us to Lanzarote, with its combination of
a desert-like island and azure blue water, where you can visit not only the
famous Museo Atlantico, but also the fish and the vibrant reefs. Meanwhile,
Beth and Shaun Tierney talk about the use of sculptures under the water
worldwide – including Lanzarote – and how those artificial reefs are helpful to the environment. Vanessa Mignon brings Christmas Island back in the spotlight again with its rich biodiversity and endemic species.

As a multitasker and multitalented diver, Timo Dersch shares his tips on
freediving photography and Alex Tyrrell shares his tips for shooting octopus.
These pro’s won’t make you a photography master in the blink of eye but you
will definitely be enlightened by their works. So what are you waiting for? Let
the reading begin.

世界各地的旅游限制似乎在短时间内不会取消，我理解这让你感觉有些沮丧，但别让疫情也限制了你的想像力与想探索更多水下世界的渴望。

随着这期令人屏息，由Timo拍摄的封面照片，犹如你亲眼见证到Tolga Taskin在冰下打破深潜记录──2分4秒75米。而我也才发现这期还包括了许多自由潜相关的文章，像是马来西亚自由潜潜点、自由潜水安全与另一位自由潜水世界纪录持有人──杨光的访谈。除此之外，潜点文章依然精彩万分，故事与美丽的图片将带领读者潜入想像世界。最后，水下摄影大师林青再次与我们分享他黑水摄影的知识与作品。

无论你是位水肺潜水员或是自由潜水员，我希望这期杂志在2021的开端能为你带来喜悦。

In this last issue for 2020, we would like to catch our readers’ eyes by using a shocking coral bleaching image as our cover. Of course, we have now realised the problem but what’s the solution? We invited Sally from LAMEVE (Large Marine Vertebrates Research Institute, Philippines) to talk about eco-credibility when traveling, and hope this feature will enlighten you with a few proposals.
 
Some of our familiar contributors have again delivered some stunning images and exciting stories from diving spots worldwide. I was especially impressed by St. Helena, its isolated loneliness and the extraordinary landscape. However, if you are a big fan of Rhinopias, you will enjoy Alex’s rhino hunting piece while other readers might think Triton Bay is more his or her cup of tea for being so fishy and colourful. Lastly, Timo highlights and describes three equalisation techniques that are well-known among freedivers – Valsalva, Frenzel and Mouthfill.


在这期，我们将带领读者们去距离不远的日本宫古岛，它是水下摄影师梦寐以求的理想潜点，其独家特色包括了洞穴和拱门；而圣诞岛不仅是一个拥有稀有本土物种之地，还是一个生态与珊瑚都相当丰富的岛屿；巴布亚新几内亚这个名字前几期已经提到过几次，但尚有许多等待你一一揭晓的地方…除了原始风光，这次你还将看到更多，像是火山和飞机残骸。同时，Penn首次出现在EZDIVE，并分享了他在马比尼海水中清理鬼网的故事；苏淮也会教导我们如何适当地接近并拍摄海洋生物的方法。

现在就开始阅读，别再等待。

想念旅行的滋味？让Pierre 为你展示位于法属波利尼西亚的法卡拉瓦之蓝，你不仅会为蓝色太平洋而惊呼，还会为蝠鲼、海豚、鲸鲨，灰礁鲨和海龟等海洋生物而惊叹。Scott 贡献了一张出色的照片作为本期封面，Jerome 为我们写了一篇摄影技术性的文章，向读者介绍镜头色像差的运用，而A.G. 也分享了过去四年中与他与DRT SHOW 合作的巡演故事。Timo 让偏远的莫桑比克跃上纸媒，该国最著名的潜点为Ponta Mamoli，准备好迎接宽吻海豚、鮟鱇鱼、蝴蝶魟以及令人赞叹的珊瑚与微距生物。最后，Steve 带我们去参观静谧地躺在楚克海床上，那些生长在传奇沉船上绝美的活珊瑚礁，在欣赏壮观水下风光的同时，你一定也会对战争带来的结果感到震惊。

In this issue, EZDIVE invites you to visit Fuvahmulah in the Maldives, plus Malapascua and Chuuk. They all shine in their own way. Also, meet Billy, the Mediterranean Monk Seal from the island of Alonissos; he must be the most adorable and friendly seal you’ve ever seen. Tempted to join a freediving competition? Hear experienced freediver Jean-Pol as he talks about the common mistakes made during freediving competitions while Marco teaches us about underwater portrait photography.

Life for many of you might have been affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. You might be bored with staying home or your diving trips have been postponed or cancelled, but let's just take a moment to be grateful about being healthy and remember there is always more time in the future.

In this issue, we bring you three different aspects for three astonishing diving destinations: incredible marine biodiversity in Banda Sea; whale watching in Tonga and ice diving in Austria. Although you will not be able to set foot on those spots soon, I always believe that patience will pay it off in the end. While waiting, spend some time to work on your photography skills – Alex Tyrrell has returned to EZDIVE to give you some tips about underwater super macro photography and Su Huai tells the story of his experience volunteering with Sea Turtles at Yakushima. And if you get tired of reading, just relax and appreciate the underwater beauty through Seung Chul Yang’s lens.

And last, I pray for this planet to get back on track, and that everyone will stay home, stay safe, and keep reading.

With love,


Revolutionary Road
Everyone evolves, we all do. EZDIVE decided to start making changes from this issue - we are honoured to announce EZDIVE is going to be more diverse: monofin techniques for freedivers; tips on winning underwater photo competitions; and how reef revival works in the Western Pacific. Also, let us 'paper-travel' together to Sea of Cortez in Mexico, Tubbataha in Philippines and Fiji. And we can all sit down to read about jellyfish, a life form that we just can’t quite decide to love or hate.

In this issue, check out Timo Dersch’s trip to Dahab, a small desert town on the Sinai Peninsula where colourful coral reefs somehow perfectly merges with the warm Arabic culture; the old friend Tim Rock unveiled the ‘best kept secret’ to our readers – the Pohnpei in Micronesia, which is an amazing spot full of friendly people, outstanding diving and unparalleled natural beauty; or if you are more into something ‘dynamic’, then the action film ‘Marlin Hunt’ directed by Henley Spiers in Mexico will do.

For divers in Northern Hemisphere, August must be a popular diving season – where have you been or where do you plan to go? Maybe you will get some new ideas from us. If you cannot decide whether big or small marine animals are your favourite, Mactan in Philippines can satisfy all your cravings, plus it is easy to get to. If you are into something strongly connected to local culture or pristine oceanic scenery, Alor in Indonesia and Milne Bay in PNG might be a good choice to explore next. In this issue,  Philippine marine biodiversity and Philippine pretty underwater images, too. Finally, let us learn a new photography skill – Bokeh, and we can all apply this skill on our next dive trip.

Unlike most of the destinations we usually hear about or see posted on social media, in this issue — thanks to our adventurous and talented contributors — we are crossing three continents to explore some lesser-known dive spots such as Mohéli, Arica; Poor Knights Islands in New Zealand; Cabo Pulmo, Mexico; and Green Island in Taiwan. If you are into The TV drama “Game of Thrones”, and think the dragons are cool, then you will be interested in our story about Weedy Seadragons. And UW photographer - Alex Tyrrell - has supplied some black water shooting tips. Also, let us learn about Cuban crocodiles, which are listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, due to climate change. So have you started to use less plastic yet?

In issue 77, we are going to have a much closer look at these other gentle giants in Cenderwasih Bay thanks to Steve Jones’ detailed report on the whale sharks and their relationship to local fisherman. The quest for megafauna seems never ending. Besides whales, sharks are always a top attraction for divers. Follow Blue Force Fleet on their expedition in the Sudanese Red Sea and you may be overwhelmed by the ubiquitous sharks. With luck you may see hammerhead sharks and even the thresher shark! What I also find intriguing there are the remains of the underwater laboratory built by Jacques-Yves Cousteau in 1963. Visiting any wreck, artificial or not, makes you gape at the power of time. From taking photos of the big to taking ‘bigger’ pictures, we invite you to look down on some of the most famous diving destinations from a drone’s perspective. Nick Song, a commercial photographer from mainland China, has a lot to tell us about drone photography.

In issue #76, we will lead you to discover diving in the frozen north of Iceland - Silfra Crack, the only place on the earth where you can dive between tectonic plates; Timor-Leste as a major global cetacean biodiversity hotspot that attracts 24 different species of whales and dolphins; the warmer waters of Kona in Hawaii, you can have both thrilling encounters with large animals and dreamlike opportunities with rarely seen creatures on a black water dives, which actually first began in the late 1970’s in Kona. Icy territories or warm waters, there’re always so much new ground for you to explore. Hopefully, this new issue of EZDIVE can give you some inspiration.

Take it slow. Modern developments nowadays has widen our range and vision underwater, however, an extreme opposite e to this is muck diving, where divers or photographers prefer to take it slow and enjoy each dive at their own pace. In this issue we will lead you to Tufi in PNG; Ishigaki Island at the west of Okinawa in Japan; Black Rock at the far western edge of the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar; Turks and Caicos, fluorescent corals, mysterious seashells, magnificent jetties… so much to see and to explore in this issue! Take it slow, one destination at a time.

Thanks to underwater photographers and videographers, we are able to witness the beauty of such places without taking all that risk and challenge. In this issue, EZDIVE will lead you to Nereo Cave – one of the biggest cave complexes in the Mediterranean; to the secret fresh water cave in Honduras; and to an off-the-beaten-path destination, Oman - one of the most ancient countries in the Arabian Peninsula which is becoming the Middle East’s modern diving frontier.

In EZDIVE issue 73, we will be retracing our steps by covering the Dragon Cup Shootout in Tulamben and taking you to Visayas, Galápagos and Maui. In additional, introducing you the conservationist AA Yaptinchay, and the underwater photographer Ipad Uid. We hope you enjoy the summer through this amazing EZDIVE!

Summer Vibe - The arrival of June means summer has just crept in. Maybe you already have plans for your summer vacation, or perhaps you are one of the spontaneous travellers who still have no clue. Either way, we guarantee you some new inspiration in this issue of EZDIVE: with beautiful cover photo taken by Allen Lee, not only you will see the most popular critter Glaucus marginatus which made appearance in Taiwan ocean, you will also be led to wonderful dive sites in Indonesia, Thailand and Maldives, learn how severe the situation is for coral and how to shoot fabulous photos in black water diving.
