"As night fell, Rivera says he used a dive light to signal there was a diver in the water, pointing it toward shore in hopes someone would see it. That signal was eventually spotted.

The couple say they’re grateful to be alive and credit their gear, training and persistence for helping them survive. They hope their story serves as a warning to others heading out on the water."

“Take your gear, take your light; it will save your life,” Rivera said.

Destinasi Sabah telah bermula! Mari selami keindahan 'paru-paru' lautan kita.

​Selepas Johor dan Pulau Pinang, siri Blue Carbon Collective yang dipacu oleh Yayasan PETRONAS kini membawakan kita ke perairan Sabah yang kaya dengan biodiversiti marin.

​Dalam episod kali ini, kita akan melihat dengan lebih dekat bagaimana ekosistem rumput laut di Sabah dipetakan dan dipulihkan. Yang paling penting, bagaimana komuniti tempatan diperkasakan untuk membina daya tahan iklim demi masa depan yang lebih mampan untuk kita semua. 🤝🌍

We’ve all been there—the "Dry Spell." 🏜️ Sometimes life gets in the way of our bottom time.

​What is the #1 thing currently keeping you out of your wetsuit?

A ​💼 The Work Grind: Too many hours at the office. Pile of works!
B​🌡️ The Missing Link: I don't have a dive buddy available when I have free time! 👯‍♂️
C ​🛠️ Gear Issues: My regulator is in the shop (or my wallet is empty!).
D ​👨‍👩‍👧 Family Duty: Weekend schedules are packed.

​Whatever the reason, don't let your skills get rusty! If you've been dry for more than 6 months, coordinate a quick "Refresher" pool session to get you confident again. 🌊

Every fraction of a degree counts.

Rising temperatures put marine life and coastal ecosystems at risk of irreversible loss.

Urgent climate action is needed to save our ocean, and our shared future.

Your guide should never have to poke, prod, or reposition wildlife just so you can get “the shot.” 🐢📸

Ethical underwater photography means patience, buoyancy control, and letting animals decide how close they want to get. If a guide is touching or harassing marine life, it is more than a bad look, it can actually harm them and the reef.

You are allowed to speak up. Ask them to only point critters out, not handle them. Choose operators who respect marine life, and remember that every photo you take tells a story about how we treat the ocean.
