  • Freediving Namibia’s caves

    A little snippet of a project I’m involved with filming freedivers in a remote cave in northern Namibia known as Harasib. Access to the cave is pretty tricky involving a scramble down a near-vertical rock face followed by a 50m abseil down a sheer drop to get to the water’s edge – and once you’re in the visibility is virtually endless. This was shot at a depth of 25m and the natural light created an ethereal vista for these divers to explore and dive in. This is only a tiny part of the project which will be shared over the next few months and all I can say is – look out because the imagery to come is nothing short of awe-inspiring!

    Nineteen people were treated and hospitalized after being exposed to a pool chemical at a Thousand Oaks swim club Wednesday evening, officials said.

    The incident occurred at Daland Swim School in the 100 block of East Wilbur Road around 6:30 p.m.

    Swim instructors said it all happened in a matter of seconds during a routine swim practice. The children in the pool started coughing and some complained they couldn’t breathe.

    “That’s never happened here before, so for us it was quite a scary moment,” facility owner Leslie Darland-James said.

    Tulum, in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, is known for picturesque beaches, underground river systems, and increasingly luxury tourism. Last year 2.4 million visitors came to this small coastal town. Development in Tulum is growing faster than the local infrastructure and environmental regulations are not always followed. The beaches popular with tourists are also home to nesting sea turtles who are vulnerable to the water and noise pollution that has accompanied growth here. Klaus dives in to learn more about what is happening in this paradise.
