Bermuda Underwater

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/diver-captures-bermuda-below-surface-180971854/

This article interests me because I find underwater photography to be fascinating and Weldon Wade, the photographer this article is about, promotes protecting the oceans through his photography. I believe society needs to do a better job of protecting the oceans, so I think it's awesome that Wade raises awareness for protecting the oceans through something he loves to do.

Wade is a free diver, so that allows him to make less noise while diving to not scare off the sea life he captures in many of his photos. In addition to photographing sea life while diving, he also takes photos of shipwrecks that have happened in the past. Some shipwrecks he has photographed are the Hermes and the Cristobal Colon. 

Many types of pictures are posted on his Instagram feed with a goal of making others aware of the beauty of the ocean, whether it be of sea life or debris. Some projects he is currently working on are Guardians of the Reef and 16 Fathoms to promote conservation efforts in Bermuda. Wade says that something everyone can do to help protect the oceans is to reduce the use of single-use plastics.
