Micro documentaries about scuba diving
I always feel a certain contained emotion before every dive. This time it was the Atlantic, in the area where continental Europe ends, the end of the earth: Finisterre. The underwater landscapes of Spain are as diverse as its terrestrial ones. The color, clarity, or murkiness of its waters, the light that filters to the … Continue reading Diving in Finisterre: where the land ends
Schools of fish, those formations that seem to move as if they were a single organism, possess a natural choreography—a spectacle that invites us to reflect on the intricate mechanisms of nature. Beyond their hypnotic beauty, these gatherings play a vital role in marine ecosystems, embodying a masterpiece of evolution where individual benefit intertwines with … Continue reading Schools of Fish: Nature’s Choreography
It is possible that it was a great grouper (Epinephelus marginatus), one of those giant and mythical groupers, that swallowed the doubtful prophet without chewing: "The Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights" (1:17). At that time, nets, … Continue reading Jonas’s fish
The Garachico Underwater Caves are a collection of caves and volcanic tunnels located off the northern coast of the island, in the town of Garachico, Tenerife, Spain. These formations were created as a result of the eruption of the Trevejo volcano in 1706, whose lava flows quickly flowed over the town and its seaport. We … Continue reading The Garachico Underwater Caves
We have only relatively recently begun to visit the seabed regularly, although it may seem like scuba diving is an everyday activity today. We have been practicing it autonomously for less than 100 years, and gradually, it has become commonplace, carried out with high levels of safety, but still with limited duration and depth. Nevertheless, … Continue reading Cantabrian Sea
The crystal-clear waters and strong Mediterranean light allow for a view of the rock and sand bottoms, their green and turquoise colors, and the intense blue of the posidonia beds. Feeling them makes my mind dive into a sea that witnessed the birth of history. Those who brought the fluid of several civilizations sailed these … Continue reading Scuba diving in Cabo de Gata
I'm going to tell you a story about two populations of fish, two situations I have recently experienced that are happening. I would like to say that they are just an example, but I'm afraid they are a reflection of many other situations. The first one is about the cyprinids of the Duero River and … Continue reading Fish Chronicles
Minutes I have been fascinated by the depths of the sea since before I knew how to use my consciousness. As a child, I began visiting them. The Mediterranean was where I discovered those pristine and, at that time, little-traveled bottoms in the 70s. All you needed was a snorkel and fins, approach the rocks … Continue reading Searching for weightlessness
Like Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente, those of us born in the 60s and 70s owe a tribute of gratitude to Jaques-Ives Cousteau, a man with an immense adventurous spirit, an explorer who discovered a new world and awakened the curiosity and imagination of those of us who were regulars to his films. Cousteau was … Continue reading Undersea world
