Getting to know another unit before heading for Xmas to the wilds of northern Sweden doing wildlife photography, camping and husky sledding. Then it will be back to Mexico and focusing on building more hours on CCR. Which one? ... that is still the question. Really enjoying learning different kinds however and hopefully as a result make a more informed decision. #revo #crossover #tulum #ccr #cenote
Two awesome dives in Cenote Angelita today with @sina_dives! After a week of shallow skills it was wonderful to enjoy some depth and silence amongst the hydrogen sulphide and trees. We were lucky to have the site all to ourselves and light rays both above and below the water. Tomorrow we head to Akumal for some ocean diving #Cenote #jjccr #jungle #tulum
Got to try out @sina_dives JJ today that has a small stand. We went through setting up the units then headed to Mayan Blue and I had some time to get comfy in CCR again after a long stretch on open circuit recently. Sina then set up a line and went through some drills. Tomorrow we will run through more drills and I will switch to the standard JJ to compare units and see which I feel more comfy in. It’s wonderful to meet another woman in the industry and learn from her skills/knowledge 👊🏼 not to mention a some fun and laughs in-between #jjccr #cenote #skillsanddrills
It's time to get creative again! Today we laser cut all the stencils and gobos I plan to use in my next shoot. SO grateful to have access to awesome people and equipment that can translate my imagination into reality. @corazon.de.alcachofa and I tested out the shapes and sizes we would need and light gels a few weeks ago. Today Richi from @weightatomic put the designs through auto cad and into the laser machine. I have an exciting week to look forward to with some CCR starting tomorrow and over the next weeks. Looking forward to catching up with Manolo @spunco for some @reddigitalcinema action with @felix872 over the weekend, somewhere in between all that I will be taking this creative lighting concept into the water ASAP. #underwaterfilm #lightingdesign #stencils #gobo #lasercutting #atomicweight
Super happy to be recognised by Sony as an #alphafemale in the industry 🙌 they just ran an awesome competition for residents in the US and Canada for a mentorship and grant opportunity. Hopefully they will send one Europe's way soon! On that note very excited to jump back onto the @jjccr_official with @sina_dives next week to focus on building some hours and keep on learning over the next months! #jjccr #bealpha #ccrdiving #sonyalphauniverse
‘So Katy what do you think of Florida caves???’ ... thank you so much @williamyanni for guiding me through the flow and showing me Ginnie Springs. It was so beautiful 😍 I feel GUE Cave One coming on #cavediving #ginniesprings #happyplace #paralenz #goingwiththeflow #fourthelement #k01 #lightmonkey
@guehq tech one complete! It was evident when I walked into this course that it was going to be a great challenge and that regardless of pass or not I would come away with a whole new outlook and approach. @egoroffk I cannot express my gratitude to you for putting so much effort into making this course something I can really benefit from and tailoring it to right a host of things psychologically that were effecting my confidence when it came to Trimix from past experiences. I can honestly say that I enjoyed every dive and every evening I looked forward to the next day. In terms of skills we were put through so many scenarios that enabled us to deal with a variety situations and forced us to become smart, thinking divers and approach both dive planning, situational awareness and any simulated emergencies as a team. I gained a skill set that I can apply to a multitude of areas in my diving, and a confidence in my own abilities, learning to utilise the time you have to solve any problem thoughtfully and efficiently. I would highly recommend this training and so happy to have made two new friends in the process! Enough said. #gue #techone #florida #kirillegorov #trimix
Yesterday we drove down to the south of Florida for some wreck diving to put our team descent/ascent skills and decompression theory into some real practice. After a morning of dive panning, we completed two successful decompression dives today on two different wrecks. I had a lot of fun and really really enjoyed the diving. It's such a great feeling to relearn and brush up skills on a course like this that hones in on detail and puts a huge emphasis on knowledge, in turn gifting you with confidence in yourself and your team. #gue #techone #oceandiving #wreckdiving #floridakeys #backmount
A 2018 report found 50 percent of Mexico's reefs in poor or critical condition. As we already know the globe's reef is in a similarly sad state. Did you know half of the world’s coral reefs have died in the past 30 years?! and scientists predict that most of the rest will be gone by 2100 unless people find a way to reduce pollution, overfishing and climate change!
I had an awesome time/adventures assisting the very talented Jenny Adler Owen, Jenny Adler Photography on this shoot with The Nature Conservancy @nature_org . It ranged from: Following groups of divers from Guardians of the Reef who were learning how to restore the reef using techniques such as pneumatic drills underwater and inserting metal rods, cement and marine epoxy. Going out into open ocean with the local fishermen for the day, and also looking into how the hotels are trying to correct the loss of beaches and reef.
Here is a great article by Jenny about the efforts going into coral conservation/restoration in Puerto Morelos Mexico. Check it out! https://www.nature.org/en-us/explore/magazine/magazine-articles/bracing-for-impact/ 📷 @jmadler #thenatureconservancy #jennyadlerphotography #underwaterphotography #mesoamericanreef #yucatanpeninsula #coralrestoration #sustainablefishing
All smiles after two days of diving and practising ascents in a very tannic Hudson Grotto! Theory tomorrow and weather/boat depending maybeee driving to South FL #fourthelement #equipmentforadventure #techone #sinkhole
Equipment set up from todays dive at Blue Grotto , Williston Florida. Learning an enormous amount and it's only day two! @williamyanni and I spent over two hours in water on shallow ascents and some emergency procedures after a morning of dry runs with @egoroffk . I am using 104 cft steel tanks which is a new one for me! I don't think I have ever had so much gas on my back before. I am really enjoying the challenge this course is presenting both in different equipment, diving procedures and gas management/deco theory so far and confident I will walk away from this course with a totally different outlook and approach to trimix diving. Looking forward to tomorrow where we will go a little deeper and practise ascents from 30m in Hudson Grotto putting into practise what we learnt today :) #techone #training #timelapse #lightmonkeylights #backmount #K01 #fourthelement #equipmentforadventure
Almost packed and ready to head to Florida! First portion of the course is in high springs then it’s down to Pompano weather depending or to a rather chilly lake so bringing all the gear #fourthelement #equipmentforadventure #lightmonkey #lightmonkeyheatedvest #apeks #k01 #packinglist
@gremlinboo and @mattreedx look who I bumped into! @roy_diver ☺️ apparently he started his technical training at @evolutiondivingresort aswell ... small 🌍 #cozumel #harmonyoftheseas #cozumelcruise #malapascuaisland #evolutiondiving
New toy 😍 #shearwater #teric
Prepping for starting @guehq tech 1 in Florida in a few days! I’m excited to further my education build my confidence and my training and REPEAT. Amongst projects my aim this year and early into next is to get CCR finally under wraps and choose a unit (still deciding 🙄) and fix a few holes in my Trimix diving with aims to slowly but surely eventually apply it all to my filming and start diving some exciting new places around the world too in the process ☺️ #newprojects #newplaces #newadventures #underwaterfilm #florida #bajacalifornia #capetown #belize
A bit of a different post from my usual ... but I just wanted to share my experience. So over the past months I totally changed my fitness and nutrition. I am the kind of person who LOVES food. I have come to realise that your diet is such a large part of being fit and especially eating at the right times and the right amounts of different components that make up a plate. I can’t begin to express how great I feel physically and mentally. I want to stay fit and flexible so I can do the things I love which involves a lot of weight carrying, walking, crawling and in general adventuring around with my camera for as long as I possibly can. Would totally recommend @consultas_nutricion combined with any kind of regular daily exercise as a way forward for anyone looking to do the same 🙂 #ropeclimbs #foodforthought #happyfriday #adventureanywhere
Sometimes you don’t get the shot you are so hungry for ... so you mesh a couple together and we can just call it ‘art’ OK. I could watch this for ever ☺️ #iceland #waterfalls #oneday #nexttime #northernlights #nowbacktocaves
A country of pure contrasts. Iceland is a place that I would love to go back to. So many adventures to be had in this beautifully harsh place! Bathing in this pool was an amazing experience. The 38 degree water in the sleeting rain (and maybe a glass of 🥂) with my family was such a nice way to spend mums birthday 😌 A fun fact for you! The spectacular water colour is caused by silica which forms a large part of the earths crust. As the geothermal water flows up from deep underground as does some silica which binds to the lava rock and radiates more blue in daylight than any other colour 💙 #iceland #geothermalpool
