Dreaming of sunsets over the sea

Rays of light on Radhanagar Beach, Havelock Island
I’ve been writing a travelogue and environmental essay. Which has me thinking of the Andamans, sand and diving.
Thankfully, I get back to the sea next week, if only for a little while. FYI, starting Monday, the blog will be on autopilot for a few days.
The sunset above was just too easy.

Creatures of the Andaman deep

A full gallery of images from diving in the Andamans. All in one place. To accompany a story on India’s nascent diving industry, the unofficial headquarters of which is on Havelock Island, smack in the middle of the Bay of Bengal.

Underwater ninja loses his throwing (sea) star

They move... very, very, very slowly.
Colors underwater fade quickly. Red is the first to go and the deeper a diver goes, the more muted and filtered the light spectrum becomes.
Which makes the vivid, giant Blue Sea Star all the more spectacular because it stands out so much.
(Forgive the weird headline. I’m experimenting in what gets the most attention on Facebook.)

Year of the clownfish

My favorite underwater subject
I’m going to be out of range of the Internet for a few days. As such, this week will be dedicated to photos from a story on India’s nascent dive industry. Above, is a standard, Western Clown anemonefish.

Sunset over Havelock
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under photography
Right before my first night dive
The sun dips to the horizon at about 4:45 p.m. on New Year’s Day as we tie on to the buoy at one of Havelock’s popular dive sites, the Wall. A new friend, Beatrice (above), and I both log our first night dive.
Little can compare to the transition from day to night underwater, as the deep blue of the sea turns to murky navy and then almost black.
