Shot by underwater filmmaker and photographer Jonas Pedersen, the short video chronicles diver Christoffer Brenna exploring the ‘El Toh’ cave in Yucatan, Mexico. It’s undeniably beautiful, and it may have been impossible to capture just a few short years ago because it was shot at ISOs ranging from 3200 all the way up to 50000!

Egypt has imposed a 15-day ban on sport fishing and offshore swimming near a popular Red Sea destination where a shark attack took place last weekend.
Environment Ministry officials Mohamed Salem and Beily Hatab say Monday the attack was likely caused by the combination of fishing and swimming in the same spot.
The shark attack happened off Ain Sokhna, a popular holiday destination 75 miles (120 kilometers) east of the Egyptian capital, Cairo. The two officials, who are directly involved in investigating the attack, said the Egyptian man who was bitten by a shark was swimming after bait was thrown nearby.

A New York City municipal pool that maintains female-only hours so that Hasidic Jewish women can swim with no men present has raised alarms among critics who say the accommodation to a particular religious group violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
But defenders say the women-only swim sessions at the Metropolitan Recreation Center give women whose community separates the sexes a rare chance to exercise.
“Why deprive them?” said New York state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat who represents a heavily Orthodox Jewish district in Brooklyn. “Really, you’re not taking away from anyone else.”

A Florida man was able to free a tangled juvenile nurse shark he spotted struggling during a freediving trip on Wednesday, and the whole thing was caught on video.
Szilard Janko, an underwater photographer from Hallandale Beach, said the hook pierced the shark’s mouth and the attached line was wrapped around the reef near Anglin’s Fishing Pier in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Before Janko and his friend Julia Sheffer came along the shark was tethered inside a hole.
The freediver swam down and retrieved the shark from the space then carefully removed the hooks from its lip while Sheffer recorded.

The movie tells us about the Russian surfers riding in the severe conditions of The Far North. Only few ones have tried surfing at this latitude, even fewer have tried it in Russia. The movie’s been shot during one year at different locations in the Murmansk region. The camera crew has filmed different seasons, conditions and moods of those sites. Having overcome all of the difficulties and having been inspired by the northern spirits, our heroes share their impressions about the places they’ve visited, the past of our country and their childhood.
