Wetpixel Owner Accused Of Withholding Payments

Adam Hanlon, the big fish behind Wetpixel, finds himself in deep waters. Word on the ocean floor is that Hanlon's facing accusations of holding back payments, and it's all tangled up with health concerns. DeeperBlue.com dives into the murky details of this underwater saga, uncovering what's really going on beneath the surface. Whether you're a fan of oceanic photography or just here for the drama, this story's making waves.

Couple Rescues Baby Shark Stuck in Glove

When a scuba-diving duo off Rhode Island stumbled upon a baby shark with its fate sealed in a work glove, they didn't just swim by. This dynamic underwater couple turned marine heroes, saving the little-finned fellow from a tight (and quite unusual) predicament.

While the ocean's mysteries are vast, sometimes it's the smaller stories that make the biggest splash. Hats (or should we say gloves?) off to these divers for keeping the seas safe, one baby shark at a time. 🌊👏

DEEP’s underwater habitat open to the public by 2027

Ever fancied a month-long deep-sea staycation? 🐠 DEEP's got you covered. This leading research org just dropped plans for 'Sentinel', a modular underwater crib set to redefine oceanic living. Slated for a 2027 public debut, Sentinel lets scientists (or brave souls) chill at 200 meters deep for up to 28 days. It's Airbnb meets Aquaman, and it's revolutionizing how we see the deep blue.

Deep-Sea Explorer Jill Heinerth to Receive First Honorary Doctorate

Our favorite deep-sea legend, Jill Heinerth, just added another feather to her cap. Victoria University is awarding her an honorary doctorate, recognizing her unparalleled contributions from the frigid depths of Antarctica to the mysterious blue holes. With books, documentaries, and a spirit that's explored places even the moon hasn't seen (yeah, James Cameron said that!), it's just another day in the life for Jill. Here's to diving deeper and achieving more!
