With Michael Menduno’s help I authored this article for GUE’s (Global Underwater Explorers) InDepth blog/magazine. It all has been a labor of love, and we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing and editing it.
As any other article some photographs are left out, not all of them can make it for one reason or another. Below are a few pictures that easily represents the spirit of the written material. Enjoy it!
