I recently saw an article on Digg about a British diver venturing in between two tectonic plates. Considering all the tsunami talk in recent weeks, I thought that it would make an interesting blog post.
Alex Mustard, a 36 year old diver from Southampton, dived 80ft into the crevice between the North American and Eurasian plates near Iceland to capture these awesome photos.
The clarity of the water is amazing, and yes - it's freshwater apparently.
I've never been scuba diving, but it's something that I'd love to do in the future. Definitely got to visit this place, and the Great Barrier Reef too. I have this weird determination to visit at least 100 countries, go skydiving, scuba diving, and some other awesome things in my lifetime.
This looks like it just made the list...

Wow, they are some really cool photos!!
That would be so exciting, and possible a bit scary.
would be nice to dive in like that but i don't think i got ballz for that
Wow, I've always watned to try scuba diving. I'm a pretty avid snorkeler, but it's not the same. I hear you only need five classes to be certified, so I should try it out :)
wow sweet
can you imagine how awesome would it be to be in this place? this is so beautiful :0
I can't speak for some of the other things, but scuba diving is so easy! I did a 3 day course and got open water certified and it was no problem. Of course, none of it is cheap, but most adventure hobbies aren't...
Those are some sweet pics. I have also never been scuba diving, I had a chance to last summer, but I got too scared, haha.
I'd love to try that! Following
WOW lovely pictures, I'd so love to explore the world like that :o(
Great article!
I'm currently undergoing scuba lessons in preparation for my hone moon. Going down 70 feet is crazy... Sadly at 40 feet its really tough to breathe.
Wow, great pictures...seeing the Grand Barrier Rief live would be totally awesome.
i would cry tears of joy if i ever saw that in person
amazing!
I love that last photo!
amazing photos!
that white stuff coming out from the diver ... I bet it's what clouds are made of...
im afraid of deep water so I dont think I could ever do this, amazing stuff though
The picture with the man in the shape of a star is actually brilliant.
Wow such great fotos!
Really cool man
he looks like he could be crushed!
Nice photos, it must be a bit dangerous too.
Scuba diving down there would be amazing! I really can't believe how clear the water is.
I'd love to scuba dive there
both my parents are pro scuba divers, and i cant swim! haha but ya gorgeous pix man
I'll love to go scuba diving but I can't swim!

The ocean completely freaks me out. Maybe I've just read too much Lovecraft...

That's.. scary, I mean, you are between two tectonic plates! :O
Thats such a beautifull place, id love to dive there ;D

Amazing photos. I've been scuba diving but nowhere that beautiful..
Never scuba diving, but it's my bucket list. Looks really awesome *o*

Wow, beautiful pictures. I figured those plates had to be pretty deep down, but if you can dive down there I guses not.
Theoriccaly, you can go down to 11km from the surface...But good luck with that haha
