[A Universe in a Grain of Sand: Discovering Hidden Worlds Through Underwater Photography]
(🔗 Full English article 👉 please click my bio link for Medium/ DeLaMer Official Web)
@edu.photos Eduardo has been an inspiring scuba mentor for me over the past 7 years, and funny enough, we’ve yet to dive together.
I’ve learned that true passion is supported by relentless patience and a thirst for knowledge. It involves spending time reading, watching videos, studying, and seeking advice. It’s amazing how many actions can be taken to pursue something you love and how boldly you can go after it.
Over the past decade, Eduardo has explored various bodies of water across the Indo-Pacific Oceans, continuously capturing vibrant moments filled with life, fueled by his passion and focus on the ocean and underwater photography.

[一顆沙子裡的宇宙: 水下攝影看見的海洋]
(🙌🔗中文全篇文請看我帳號底下的Medium連結或DeLaMer官網)
Eduardo 是我過去7年來重要的潛水導師,好笑的是,我們至今尚未一起潛過水。當初因打排球相識,因為都有在潛水而變熟。我那時才拿到進階牌不到一年,還很菜。而他不只啟發我海裡相關的世界,更帶給我人生哲學和熱忱的領悟。
我才學到原來支撐熱忱的是不厭其煩的耐心和求知慾,是花時間看書看影片研讀和請教,原來喜歡一件事情是有那麼多行動可以去做、是可以那麼大膽的去做。
過去十幾年Edu潛遍了印度洋太平洋上大大小小的海域,他持續將對海洋和水下攝影的熱忱和專注去捕捉這些充滿生命力的瞬間,化為繽紛的色彩。

![Milestone on my 100 dives! 我的第100潛!
[中文見底下]
This passion has brought me a lot - the vivid life in the blue, being close to the vain of the planet, and many possibilities of the world.
I’ve seen Vibrant Cenotes and Caribbean Sea in Mexico, Indian Ocean in Maldives, Indo-Pacific ocean in Bohol, Malapascua, Anilao (Philippines), Sipadan & KK in Malaysia, Thailand, Red Sea in Egypt, and now Okinawa with my family.
Many divers inspire me throughout the way, and also inspire my family, partner, and friends to become part of this exciting journey. I’m extremely grateful and lucky to have such privilege, which is never taken for granted.

我的第100潛!
說不盡的熱愛帶給我好多——汪洋中的生機盎然,靠近地心的體驗,以及探索這個世界的無限可能。
我曾見過墨西哥的燦爛洞穴與加勒比海,馬爾地夫的印度洋,薄荷島、媽媽島、阿尼洛(菲律賓)的印太海域,馬來西亞的詩巴丹與亞庇,泰國,埃及的紅海,現在又和家人一起來到了沖繩。
一路上遇到許多潛水員啟發我,也啟發了我的家人、伴侶和朋友成為這段精彩旅程的一部分。我非常感激也覺得很幸運,擁有這個從來不視為理所當然的特權。
今後也要繼續吐更多泡泡 🫧 🤿](https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.75761-15/513507221_18058457747203044_8254650037838317713_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=LmcqWrIRqjoQ7kNvwF34ipQ&_nc_oc=AdkgEBKeub0RiSjWDf39fVSZCriP3P83ra29NHiD5jCGdlgFgqn9EFbCSRKE0UdDOXY&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=WZ98IQWb78kPErNVIb-S0A&oh=00_AfcVl1a2eYhpXL5l6jlcUYMJrRhd7ItKKxe_dT5uz-_qeQ&oe=69021BEE)

As my usual, forgot to take any film of those… but I’m glad at the second half of the process I did remember to make some footage! Finally finished this procrastination and super happy of the final outcome!

[Mexico - Journey to the center of the earth]
After reading endless of dive magazine and blogs about Mexico, this long-expecting trip had concluded my new year’s eve magical and unforgettable.
On 1st Jan 2024 - we woke up at 6:30am to see the first sunshine and spent the day in the jungle driving the air tanks and gears and diving into the maya riviera Cenotes (the collapse) that eventually brought us to underground cave system that lasts for miles and miles long.
Into the abyss of mind and peace, we were passing through and devastated by the veins of the Mother Earth, discovering Mayan pots, fossils, massive formation of stalactite, stalagmite over thousands years, and the cloud (anoxic zone) deep in 40 meters. That was something beyond my imagination, beyond words, and farthest and most bizarre thing ever from my daily life. What a place to spend my first day of 2024!
The world is too big that we cannot stop traveling, even we spend a lifetime is not enough.
[墨西哥 - 地心歷險]
在閱讀了無數關於墨西哥的潛水雜誌和部落格後,這次期待已久的旅行終於結束了我神奇而難忘的跨年。
1 月1 日,我們早上6:30 醒來,看到第一縷陽光,在叢林中度過了一天,開車載著氣瓶和裝備,潛入的瑪雅Cenotes天井(洞上的崩塌),最終將我們帶到了長達數百公里的地下洞穴系統。
進入心靈與平靜的深淵,我們穿越並被孕育萬物的地球心臟所震撼,發現了瑪雅陶罐、化石、幾千年前大量形成的鐘乳石、石筍和40米深的雲層(無氧層)。那是我無法想像、無法言語、奇異、也是離我日常生活中最遙遠的事。這是我度過 2024 年第一天的好地方!
世界大到我們不能不去旅行,即使用上一輩子都不夠。

![[中文見底下] Thresher Shark Water Bottle
Big thanks to Li De Rotary Club to feature my design as their 1 year anniversary event product. In front of more then 300+ guests, DeLaMer could tell the stories of ocean and raise awareness of marine conservation. Wish you keep lightening up other lives through all your charity events hosted ✨
The initial idea of designing this bottle was really to protect the ocean from plastic bottles. And this turned out to be one of the impactful items during the pop up store in Malapascua.
If you want one personally or have ideas to collaborate with your organization, please contact me or shop through my website link in bio 🔗 or visit the physical shop in Hong Kong (see my story highlights)
長尾鯊保溫水壺
感謝桃園儷德扶輪社把我設計的這款水壺當成了這次一週年受贈活動的來賓禮物,DeLaMer的品牌也得以在300多位來賓前宣傳海洋保育意識跟故事。願你們未來的每一次付出都能點亮更多人的生命✨
當時設計這個水壺的初衷單純是想保護海洋不受到塑膠的侵擾,沒想到後來在菲律賓媽媽島的快閃店也成了重要的產品。
若你對水壺有興趣或是組織合作,歡迎在我bio官網上下單或是看我動態精選的香港實體店可以找到!

![[中文見底下] Another paint in a rainy day. Weather keeps me productive. I guess water reminds me water. 🌊
Another attempt to paint the traditional Filipino fishing boat - Bangka, now used also as dive boat 🛶 . The techniques, structure design of the outriggers; and choice of hardwood materials that makes the boat for stability on the water are all very fascinating and inspiring.
It’s a process of watercolor, white pencil and acrylics for the waves, my first try out of masking liquid on the details of the objects, imaginations and memories from the diving experiences in the Philippines 🇵🇭
I always forgot to film the painting process until almost finished… promise for next one!
另一個下雨週末的畫作。可能是水讓我想起了水。 🌊
再次嘗試畫這個傳統的菲律賓螃蟹漁船 - Bangka,現在也用作潛水船🛶。使船在水面上保持穩定的工藝、結構設計、硬木材料的選擇都非常讓人著迷。
這是一個用水彩、白色鉛筆和壓克力顏料譜出想像和記憶的過程,也是我第一次嘗試用水彩遮蔽液來處理物體細節🇵🇭
每次都到畫作快完成才想到要拍攝影片紀錄創作過程⋯
