“Freediver Sun Young Kim dives in the ‘no fins’ category at Vertical Blue 2021, a freediving competition, in the famous Dean’s Blue Hole in the Bahamas,” explains Verhoeven. “For years I’ve tried to get all the elements - the diver, the comp zone, the action, and the underwater sand falls - into one image. This was the first time it all came together.”
