A scuba diver looks tiny swimming in front of a shipwreck. “We were on a liveaboard cruise to take underwater images of tiger and hammerhead sharks in the Bahamas,” remembers Friedrich. “But due to bad weather conditions, we had to seek shelter near Nassau where we looked for alternate dive sites. We decided to dive on this wreck which had been intentionally sunk by a dive centre. At that time, the sand under the bow was washed out which made it an excellent photographic opportunity.”
