Scuba Diver Explores Leru Cut
Story behind the shot
One of the coolest dive sites I’ve ever experienced is “Leru Cut” in the Russell Islands - a deep, 15-or-so foot wide underwater crevice that cuts through Leru Island. As you swim through the cut, vertical walls are on your left and right, and sunlight streams down through the rainforest above, illuminating the clear blue water surrounding you. Look behind the silhouetted diver in this image and you’ll see the green from the rainforest above.
