    Some people aren’t satisfied with what’s on the surface. So they dive, exploring rivers, lakes and oceans. Join us as we take the plunge with divers motivated by the thrill of discovering shipwrecks and finding pearls; breath-holding free divers who push themselves to their limits; and one diver who befriended a sea creature nearly 30 years ago and has visited her pretty much daily ever since. This duo is friendship goals—underwater edition.

  • How 6 friends made ‘Epic Swim’ across Lake Michigan

    After years of planning a swim across Lake Michigan, the 55-mile open water adventure turned out better than Jon Ornée anticipated.

    Ornée and five friends — his brother David, Nick Hobson, Jeremy Sall, Todd Suttor, and Matt Smith — swam Lake Michigan in relay fashion in just under 21 hours, far less than the 24-30 hours they anticipated the journey would take them.

    The swimmers — all of whom live in the Holland-Zeeland area — left from Two Rivers, Wisconsin, at the Rawley Point (Twin River) Lighthouse, at 7:15 p.m. Aug. 11, and landed in Ludington, Michigan, near the Big Sable Point Lighthouse, at 4:10 pm. Aug. 12. They made a little history, becoming the first-ever relay crossing and the fastest-ever mid-lake crossing at 20:50 hours.

  • Swimmer Encounters Great White Shark

    This footage of a Great White Shark near a swimmer was captured on August 16th, 2020. While doing a routine shark monitoring drone flight, I came across a man swimming behind the breakers. The man is clearly surprised at first glance and reacts accordingly, by not panicking and keeping eye contact. However, some of the following behavior is questionable. I’m including a few tips along with the footage to provide some information about what to do and what not to do if you encounter a shark while swimming.
