Last-Minute Summer Diving

  • Mexico
  • Grenada
  • Komodo
  • Mozambique
  • Philippines
  • Northern Sulawesi

Top 20 Underwater Photographers: Part I

  • Baja California
  • Northern Sulawesi
  • Cayman Islands
  • Bonaire
  • Bohol

Snapshots of time, passports to other worlds and instruments for change, photography is the most powerful tool. We might be biased, but underwater photography truly trumps on the nature scale; it allows us to explore the ocean's greatest (and still largely undiscovered) depths, celebrate its…

Our Planet

  • Papua New Guinea
  • Indonesia
  • Raja Ampat
  • French Polynesia
  • Rangiroa
  • Mexico

Considering how much we loved David Attenborough's iconic documentary series, Blue Planet II (which we enjoyed so much that it might as well have been tailor-made just for us), it's safe to say we were pretty excited about his latest hurrah: Netflix's Our Planet. And it did not disappoint.…
