Ice diving is not easy, but it has its own charm. Earth and sky are changing places. Now the firmament is above you. And light breaks through the meters of ice. It would be fine if it was not so cold))" This week's choice was a hard one. There was a wide-range of underwater portraits and marinelife shots.
