"From birth, man carries the weight of
gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to
earth. But man has only to sink beneath
the surface and he is free."
"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one
in its net of wonder forever."
"People protect what they love"
quotes by Jacques Yves Cousteau
A tribute to a true undersea visionary
Hans Hass...
It all started for me after reading "Diving to
Adventure" and "Under the Red Sea" by
Hans Hass.
For me he was the first true
pioneer of
recreational diving and underwater
photography, a true visionary who opened the
eyes of the world to the beauty of the undersea.
For this, we all owe him eternal thanks.
