During the filming of one of the suggested scuba dive. Dove, learned and began to take off for diving magazines too. In 2003, mastered technical diving.


A tripod under water there is, instead of them - divers outbreaks. Before diving we train and achieve synchronicity. Then dive with the process, one frame (immediately raised suspension), and nothing happens - someone certainly does not shine there. Emerges, conduct debriefing, train again and again the next day dive. And so, until you get the desired frame.


Cave - it's a different world that you yourself and draw. You do not see the whole cave - only small pieces, grabs a flashlight beam.
