Dive Into Your Imagination

Bubble Shell, Papua New Guinea

These animals bury themselves in the black sand and come out at night to feed. They are extremely rare and I believe I have only seen them three times on any of my dives. Neutral buoyancy is absolutely key to diving in sandy environments. There is an art to how you fin. I teach all of my students a special class for neutral buoyancy with a camera because it is imperative to shooting. You can learn to settle in the sand and lift off the sand without creating a dust cloud for your self or any one else. I believe there needs to be photo etiquette rules that everyone follows and nobody should even pick up a camera to film underwater unless they know how to achieve neutral buoyancy.
