A fantastic underwater photograph taken by a diver who dives in the Antarctic Ocean for 400 hours

Born from Atlanta, GeorgiaNorbert WuFor twelve years, he has dives in the Antarctic Ocean for more than 400 hours and has taken pictures of beautiful underwater photographs. At the bottom of the extremely cold sea where human hands can not reach, sometimes the fantastic scene is spreading to the extent that I think that it is "artificially directed."

Norbert Wu is 48 years old from Atlanta, Georgia. It has been over 7 degrees since 1997McMurdo BaseYaPalmer(Antarctic PeninsulaI visited the US Antarctic observation station in the south) and photographed photos. Twelve weeks / six days a week for a single Antarctic visit, it seems that he has gone to the sea and has spent 17 days in total under freezing temperatures of 17 days with over 1,000 dives total.


"The sea temperature near McMurdo Station is minus 1.8 ° C, which is one of the coldest seas in the world, but you can see something worth seeing," Wu says. "How cold feels is a very psychological problem"

Mr. Wu told me how to get a picture of the Antarctic Ocean, "Many of the scuba divers are interested in underwater photography to record the sight that they saw in the water as a hobby, from which natural It was a flow. "


Researchers also enter such tubes and observe underwater. Mr. Wu will visit Antarctica again next year and plan to complete the next project to record nearby marine life.
